yupHave you checked the stem - handle bar bolts.
checked still creakingSaddle rails often seem to loosen up in these parts.
not that sort of noiseSpokes are notorious sources of creaks. Check the tension and condition of the spokes.
noIf you have a spare front wheel - try that to eliminate any creaks coming from the wheel.
Were you getting the creaks before you changed the BB?
truativ powerspline, it stopped creaking when he threw it in the bin though
Once had a crack in a head tube which was an unidentifiable creak until it tore open big enough to see.
I have a new truvative power spline on my Boardman Hybrid which creaked like a good’un when I put it in. The creak dissapeared when I put a load of wet lube between the cranks and the BB (the BB side of the cranks ) and lubed the splines on the spindle.Friend of mine had a truvative powerspline on a mtb, creaked from new and couldn't stop it creaking no matter what we did, only stopped when he threw it in the bin
i have already greased the splines but i will give it another lookI have a new truvative power spline on my Boardman Hybrid which creaked like a good’un when I put it in. The creak dissapeared when I put a load of wet lube between the cranks and the BB (the BB side of the cranks ) and lubed the splines on the spindle.
well i have regreased every bit to do with the BB, checked saddle , skewers etc and checked tightness of everything else .Tried it on the turbo but you can only hear the turbo noise so cant test it till the wind drops below blow you into a hedge speed .I've had a recent creak caused by rear QR not sufficiently tight. Took me forever to locate it.
Worth a try?

No he has, it is a Truvativ Powerspline.The OP hasn't answered this question but I think YS is suspecting the notorious BB30.
came with the chainset mate gave me for the rat bike build, the only other altrnative i have is an fsa one which costs £30 a time and lasts 6 monthsNo he has, it is a Truvativ Powerspline.
Absolute rubbish, intended for siupermarket bikes.
