Clysdales: More Creaking?

[(PeteCresswell)]

I'm about 210-215 and have be plagued by creaking on almost every
bike I've owned.

I used to blame it on non-alu frames or, in the case of my FS, a
non-steel BB link. In the past it's most often been in the BB -
a lot of the time stripped threads and/or cracked BB shell.

Now my ancient-and-honorable 198-something Stumpie has started
creaking - big time..... coincident with a few months of being
used as a short-range commuter bike.

Removed, cleaned, re-torqued the cranks.

Removed, greased, re-install pedals.

No change.

I guess the BB is next when I find the tool.


It's something with heavier riders, right?

Try greasing the seat rails and reinstalling saddle worked for me.
