Wayne pudding Mol Posted March 28, 2020 Share The idea is an escape from the serious reality Good jokes, self deprecation etc - I’ll start For the last year my most ridden bike is my weight weenie Open build used for gravel. But the creaking drives me nuts and I probably strip the drivetrain once a month chasing the creaks I was so obsessed with getting the weight down that I bought the lightest eggbeaters which in turn necessitated shoes just for that bikeEventually I just learned to live with the noises Enter corona - pulled out my old giant mag trainer and put the eggbeaters on Lance (my old trek) and put the Movistar documentary on Netflix. Lo and behold the creak appeared So I’ve been chasing a creak on my bike for a year that is a combo of my shoes and cleats So in one day I’ve sanded through a carbon fork and realised I’ve disassembled my bike 30 times or so for no reason Bonus, Mamil and ChrisF 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also tend to overthink things which often have a simpler solution. Glad you got it sorted. I have a budgie in my cranks some place but I don’t have the tools with me to sort it out now...
