A tad disappointed at Edinburgh Cycles...

Edit: It may be the SKS guards making the creaking noises and since found it was the light which made the chain stay look like it was rubbing.

Still the seatpost & gears to get sorted but on the way home it was feeling like a nice ride.

Edit x 2 - The creaking is coming from the seatpost. I swapped out the pedals and did a quick up and down the street on them this morning and it still creaked, swapped back to flats, tested in and out of the saddle and yep there is the creak. Got to work and tightened it.

Another thing wrong with the set up is that when I go up to the big ring this morning it over shot and ended up on the crank twice leaving chips (not the fishy sort) on the crank.

Right slight update.

Cause of very bad creaking was the seat. Dropped bike off yesterday (Saturday) and reported the issue of the seat, the blurr on the frame scratching all the seat post, the limiters on the front derailer not set correctly throwing the chain off (twice within a mile both in heavy traffic in the middle of the road whilst over taking) also which has scratched the crank and the chain rub (though the SRAM Gt Via is designed to have none). They said the mechs would look at it and they will text me once sorted (though how they are going to fix/replace the seatpost and seat in 6 hours is beyond me), got a strong feeling they will try and blag the indexing issue and fob me off with the seatpost and seat, if they do I will just ask to return the bike under consumer rights and go for the Spesh bike. Will call them tomorrow and found out what they actually did.
