Found this today...
This particular bike has not been used in a while, so I wasn't too surprised that it didn't run 100% quietly after digging it out for a spin. It took me a 20 miles to find the cause of the creak though!
In fairness to Thomson, I know I overtightened it. Bit concerning though, considering I'm a 10 stone weakling and used a tiny multi-tool to fit it! It's also been not been touched for years (I have since acquired a torque wrench) and has done thousands of miles - but judging from the noise I think it only happened today.
Now I know why these are for sale...

Be careful out there...
