Bart Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Nothing more annoying than the noisy sound on a ride. It's a Sram Dub press fit bearings on my 1 yr carbon old Giant TCX. I tried popping the bearings out and greasing everything up and still squeeks...WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoAmI Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Do you also have a Shimano chain ring? It could be that. They used proprietary security torx chainring bolts that loosen easily and squeak like a BB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRider3141 Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 It can be several things. My last squeak that I swore was my BB ended up being my seatpost. During a ride I undid the quick release pulled it up a smidge and re-clamped. Noise was gone. This was of course after removing cranks and retorquing the BB...

AustinBike Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Check seat post. Seat. Pedals. Chain ring. Pedals. All of those things can create noise when pedaling. The first thing to try is does it creak when pedaling while standing? If it does not creak, that rules out seat post and seat. Then, after that I would try taking the pedals off, cleaning them, lubing them and put them back on. If they are clipless, try riding with regular shoes, not clipped in and see if that is the problem. If it still creaks, I'd try the chainring. I have had chainrings on my DUB crankset make noise. Not a fan of DUB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I’ve had creaking from the multi-part Shimano cassette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
