    This vid is A+++++ Great work Savant! I also concur with the Wheels BB and the usage of the green dumonde tech chain lube! That's all good stuff!

    The dreaded noisy/"creaky" cable housings; what a major PITA! That Wheels Mfg threaded BB is such a quality piece of kit. A few thousand miles on my Evil and still good as new. Awesome content Savant.

    Never thought about spokes ! Added to my checklist. On three bikes I owned it was the chainring that was creaking, simply cleaning everything and tightening with thread lock did the job. 1 st time it happened I replaced he bb with a brand new one and I realized it was not related 😩

    Saddle rail creaks can also be solved with a few drops of lube where the rails enter the saddle. That routinely silences my Ergon saddles. Also, if your fork is out of warranty, green loctite may fix a creaky CSU. A few drips where the stanctions enter the crown may do the job.

      Great tips. I unfortunately didn't have luck with the loctite with my fork. :(

    I fixed 2 creaks on my mtb the other day, the derailleur hanger lock nut was loose and the actual wheel being in the frame creaks so I put some thick grease on the end caps and now its quiet.

    I have recently bought a kona process 134 sr , and straight out of the shop it creaked like crazy, they replaced the bottom bracket, and it still does it... its driving me insane. I just don't know what to do! I've hardly ridden it. But strangely, I went for a first ride ride, and after a downhill section, and 32 kilometers later, it stopped creaking, until the next day.... when it started again....

    • @mtbsavant5414
      @mtbsavant5414  Před 4 lety

      Work with the shop to diagnose it. If it creaks under certain conditions they should be able to diagnose it.
