    Wasn’t expecting to hear such a nasty sounding creaking noise on my colnago c60, sounds like its coming from the bottom bracket under load possibly, only seems to do it in the small ring at the front, and the 3 biggest cogs in the cassette. Only had it 2 weeks, set off on a big ride today and it sounded so bad I turned back, rode through a small section of mud and then the noise just got worse, I’ve washed and cleaned the bike just in case it was the mud or some grit but its still there http://youtu.be/MwcNr_G_X7I

    You’re either very, very unlucky or a ham fisted spanner monkey.

    You are buying extremely expensive stuff, Pro-tour, top of the range kit and yet constantly finding fault with it. Most people work their way up, learning about how it all works, learning about how it goes together and learning how where and why things are noisy, then fixing it.

    As noted elsewhere, I don’t think the bike is the problem.

    A top tip; stop washing your bikes every time they squeak; they aren’t squeaking because they need a wash.

    TBH it could be anything! it
    TBH it could be anything! it took me months but i found that on my bike one of the female chainring bolts was causing the creak. Put a little copperslip on the bolt where it sits in the chainring and quiet.

    Yes I’ve oiled the spokes on
    Yes I’ve oiled the spokes on the zipp wheels, did precisely nothing, I’ve moved on from that fiasco, I’ve got lots more videos if your that interested? Maybe I’ll have to try a £300 bike from halfords next, surely its entertaining reading about my misfortune with expensive stuff on here? It must be nice to have a whisper quiet bike with just general “bike noise” like everyone else seems to have.

    Do you spend all your time
    Do you spend all your time listening for weird noises from the latest bit of expensive kit that you’ve bought? You’ve got 8 videos on youtube, all purporting to show some strange sound or other, and it’s beginning to be a bit odd.

    Did you oil the spokes on your wheels?
