very informative as always, I started biking when the pandemic began and those videos of yours makes me informed about issues and tips
So just riding along and it wasn't the bottom bracket? Hmmm....interesting!
Keep up the great work, guys. Always entertaining while informative to watch. Thank you! 👊
It's such a nuisance when you take your bike apart, grease everything up and it's perfect. Not a single creak, then suddenly a creak comes back! 🤬
Great video…. One of my favourite things is getting back on your bike after resolving unwanted noises 😀
I hope that these guys will have a huge christmas raise :-) Loving every vid and the humour
car repair shops have a tool that has 3 or more bluetooth microphones that connect to your phone, you can clamp them around different parts of the bike, put headphones on, and have the app either automatically switch between the microphones or manually select which one to listen to and you can pinpoint accurately which part is making the noise
Train your ears more
I've worked as a car mechanic for years and when listening to weird or bad noises in the engine bay you can take a screwdriver and put the handle to your ear and the pointy bit at different parts of the engine and you can clearly hear where the noise comes from when it intensifies. I'm pretty sure you can do kinda the same thing here, if not to pinpoint you should be able to exclude one or two things atleast. Just be careful so you don't scratch the frame or something.
@@nrtolv You ever use a mechanic's stethoscope?
@@mattgies No, we used the cheaper, ugly version 😅 But i imagine an actual stethoscope does the same job, but better!
Did you not listen to the bit about transmitted or referred noise? This would be a confusing and expensive thing to do.
Great job on the bike !!
It’s always my seatpost. Though, I usually suspect the bottombracket because the creaking has the same rhythm as my cadence. But no, it’s the seatpost that needs some fresh grease.
try pedalimg out of the saddle. if you still hear the creak, it ain't the seatpost or saddle
Thanks!!! Finally get rid the creek on my bikes
Ive had creaks solved from so many places. Thru axles, broken freehub bearing, chain and cassette, pedals, cracked frame, you name it. As these guys did I disassemble and reassemble parts until the creak goes away. Its actually rarely the bottom bracket but then again I usually have external bearings not in the shell or pressfit.
I like the way they try to act to make it even better.
haaaaaaaaaaaaaa....EASILY the BEST YT-vide EVER about ANYTHING !!! Those Drama Classes sure seem to be paying off good :-) thanks! Man, I really learned so much! Aaaahhh...can you do the same on a 2011(?) Specialized Roubaix 3x, maybe? (I know, I know...I'm old & simple-minded )))
Diagnosis is the hardest thing to learn as a bike mechanic, and the hardest thing to teach someone: the difference between the different sounds and feels (& smells?) of common problems.
A lot of times I've found it way easier to just do a full strip down if it's bad, because you easily end up chasings ghosts if you try to look for just one issue. The bonus of doing a complete do-over like this is that you now know you have done exactly that, and it will give you piece of mind for a long time. I did that on the last used bike I purchased, because I had no idea what had been done, nor when. I like to know so that's why there's only one solution. Get to town on it!
Absolutely agree. I find it entretaining too... but you need more than one bike so that you can continue riding if you're not done with the work in a couple of days.
I completely disagree with the exception you mention.
On a used bike, you have no idea what might need to be done.
On a bike you have been riding, throwing everything at it might fix the issue BUT you have no idea what actually fixed the problem so you did not learn anything that could be helpful going forward.
@@whynotride327 Some people like to micro manage and achieve very little in the longrun. If there's too many unknowns you will increase productivity by simply going to town on it. It's all about starting and having a clear goal.
When we as human beings micro manage we most often dig ourself deeper and deeper down into a big mess, and spend a lot of time achieveing very little. It's never about that one thing, because we most likely are going to live tomorrow as well, and setting up life for long term solutions is the only thing that will last. Micro management leads to lots and lots of frustration which make people give up in the long run.
So, I stated what I stated because when a bike you are going to use is in good condition, it is so much easier to deal with issues when they do occur, because then you have a way better idea of what it *_ISN'T_* which will cut down on time while doing trial and error. The other important thing is because you will be going over the trouble areas, you will get a very good idea of what actually were the issues because you are looking right at it and you somehow assumed I did not want to learn. Well, assumptions mostly fail in life, and so it did again. I actually learn more and faster than someone just sitting there scratching his/her head.
We learn way more over the same amount of time when we got perspective and think long term. It's all about choosing the best solutions long term.
@@Perception_ That is a lot of words to say that you have your method of being perfect and my method is wrong. As long as you are happy with your way of "fixing" things, have at it. It will not affect me at all.
This is not rocket science, it is bicycle repair. Nothing hard about it.
I prefer to know exactly what I did to solve a problem. I learn things that might help me in the future.
Look at it another way. You have a problem with your car. Do you take it to the garage and tell them to fix the problem OR do you tell them to take it apart and fix everything?
Your method works for you and, IMO, you solved the problem but you didn't learn anything. Again, if you are happy with it, it makes no difference to me. Not sure why you felt the need to respond just to tell me that I am "wrong".
Also, I am not too sure where you need to bring up "micro-managing" at all. Sounds like you need a mission statement too.
Enjoy the day!
@@whynotride327 Living in an existance of there is no right or wrong is for children. Truth does not change whether we want it to or not.
Freedom of speech works in the way we have all pre-accepted any response back to our own action. As you now show you want no responsibility of your own actions, you do what cowards do - blame one's own failure(s) on someone else.
As you replied back it *_HAS_* affected you, so how do you like them apples.
Word of advice for future preference. If you want no responsibility - NEVER act!
Hello Hello , Merci beaucoup Thank you 👋👍😀
@2:38: Is the chain too long and touching the upper wheel of the derailleur?
Do you have a link to the handlebar creak video you guys mention at the end!? Getting a lot of creaking from the front of my bike when going uphill!
czcams.com/video/-p7T6xcDKmw/video.html
@@parktool I missed the detail where once the chainring and crank were disassembled, what grease or oil did you use and exactly where?? Also what did you do with the bottom bracket?….I have a similar creak and suspect it’s coming from the crank area. I have SRAM XX1 drivetrain with press fit SRAM BB96 bottom bracket I believe. It’s a Yeti SB150. Thanks!
You forgot to tighten the loose nut on the saddle! I usually start there.
that rumble happens to me in a brand new xt 1x12, i realize that i forget to lubricate the chain after a wash
Your example is a hard tail. On a full sus it could be pivot points
Pls provide English subtitles 🙏🙏
If anyone knows my front disc brake dings when I tap it altough its tight.
I chainged forks but I tighten it to 8nm to spec. Does anyone know what is it¿
That'd be the titanium pin in my foot 😆
Maybe next product of park tool is a comedy club :p
I had a creek that was getting progressively worse as i rode. Oh no, the suspension is getting all kerfunkled! Poked around a bit, did the side load test, nothing. Then i saw the thru-axle looked like it had moved. Yep, sucker was loose. Tighented it back up and it was back to silence.
On a side note, should I use threadlock on the thru-axle, seems to always wiggle loose.
if you are putting a small amount use blue
Im new to biking. Everytime i go all out i hear crackles and wheezes from my lungs..
Gotta grease those lungs!
Looked like derailer pulleys were too close to chain in low gears. Like it would do if chain were too long.
i noticed that too. I would like to know if one link should be removed? Or if there should be a turn on the rear derailleur tension screw?
So, you don't think it was the crossed spokes making the creaking sound?
How did you get the derailleur to stay straight and all the slack in the chain when taking the rear wheel off?
Shifting to the smallest rear sprocket keeps everything inline. These SRAM derailleurs have a small lock that holds the cage forward allowing for slack in the system, making it easier to install the wheel. This is not on all SRM derailleurs and not on all brands either.
I had a really noisy creak that I couldn't get rid of. I lubed the headset, skewers, lubed the bb & crank spindle, chain ring bolts, 'replaced the bb'. Checked & lubed pedals, handle bar & stem clamps and seat rails etc and nothing fixed it. Until... I put a new seat post in. Lubed it with the included lube and... That was the source of the horrible creak!! Carbon frame and carbon seat post with no carbon seatpost lube until post replacement. 😖
Nice.. i hate to fix two or more stuff in one time because then you don't really knows where the noise come...
True, That is typically the way to go.
@@parktool Doctors call it 'differential diagnosis': eliminating variables until you find the disease vector.
Hi parktool! please create videos in 60fps bcz that's adds more great experience during watching your videos.
Super video as always - you have done a lot to help me improve my bike fixing skills throughout the pandemic. Minor suggestion - don't forget to model wearing your helmets, even on short test rides (from a physician who sees a lot of trauma patients). Thanks for all your work!
Yep famous last words "It will never happen to me"! :(
ALWAYS WEAR YOUR HELMET!!!

So, no quite fair: that could be back wheel hub axle or crankset gear or arms, but you have made changes in all of them together - there is no clear root cause analysis provided.
Anyway - I like your channel.
Thank you guys
I'm a fat ass, it's usually my seat post.
Palmer??
Palmer is in the video somewhere!
@@parktool love me some neck beards.
Why of why do people bother with carbon?
while you guessing,im gonna say seatclamp or a loose headset
too much drama guys
Not enough humour dude.
