A quick question for the chain gang…
I've had a strange creaking noise at the back of my bike for some time now.
I tried the following things to get rid of it but can't find the reason….
Bottom bracket is replaced, all moving parts were cleaned, are lubed and tightened with the appropriate NM. Freewheel is also lubed and fits.
The bike has roughly 11k km on…
I changed the whole drivetrain already.
First the cassette (after 6000km) the small chainring and chain after 8000 and the big chainring after 9500km
The only other thing I can think of is that it might be coming from the spokes/rim? Have you ever heard anything like that?
Or do I need to get another chain + cassette?
Could it be the jockey wheels?
Please help…
Can't find the reason for the screacing

Does the creaking continue if you stand up and pedal? If not it might be your seat/seatpost
To me sounds a lot like saddle
Take apart and grease everything from your seatpost to your saddle rails including the clamp and then tighten back to torque spec.
Sounds like spokes… If the tension is too low, they rub against each other at the crossing.
What kind if bb is it?
SRAM NSW wheels?
Make sure your quick release is tightened well and the wheel is seated well on the forks
My bike was making a noise from the freehub, always a good thing if you can try a different wheel
Oof. Loose through axle/thru axle mount.
This is the sound of carbon rubbing on something 😅
WD-40 spray one place at a time until you find the sreatch
Mine was a pedal.
After replacing all that you have, might be with it to check for cracks around the frame.
Check the tighten of the pedals, i have the same noise and it was that.
Bottom bracket most likely. Just take off the crankset clean it and add some proper grease.
Creaking aside where do you live Holy crap that view
Maybe the Through Axle. Clean it, put a little grease on and tighten it properly. That fixed the creaking on my bike.
