Cheers - they did do that, but although I haven't had a chance to properly ride it to confirm, very brief ride down my road cranking the problem gears suggested it's made little to no difference... partly why I'm a bit dubious about the actual source! I will investigate a bit further over the weekend and see what I can establish for myself...

Have you checked the jockey wheels?

I had similar symptoms and was convinced it was my Hunt wheels causing the sound. Hunt sent out new bearings, axle, freehub. When removing the wheels I noticed the jockey wheel bearings were rusty and dry. New jockey wheels resolved the horrible creaking sound.

That's a really good shout, hadn't thought of that cheers - I'm going to do some checks of my own over the weekend and will definitely look into that as a possibility!
