@Donut
tried searching for this, but nothing...
I know a new chain will stretch, but is a creaking sound normal? It's only noticeable when I'm accelerating slowly from a stationary position - as once I'm going it's fine (I think).
This is fixed steamroller, one week old, seen about 100 miles. I've had my ear to it, and pretty certain it's just the chain creaking/squeaking on the chain wheel.
Thanks.
