My drivetrain creaks. It does it every time I change from pedalling forwards to using back-pressure on the pedals and vice versa. Basicall every single time I accelerate or brake.
By a process of elimination, I've narrowed it down to my chainring bolts. I've tried removing them, greasing the threads and then tightening them up as far as they can go and that did help reduce the noise by quite a bit. However, they still make a slight creaking sound and it really bugs me.
Any suggestions?
