[mr Mag00]

yh yh removed bars tightened andstill there if stand off bike and lean wheels to one side they creak

 

[mr Mag00]

any one any suggestions?

Degreased or grit in the headset? Front wheel bearings loose/dirty/degreased? Loose or recently rebuilt front wheel (spokes will creak a bit after rebuild, until they settle)? Front axle nuts incorrectly tightened (possibly front axle not settled into fork dropouts before tightening - happens sometimes if put in on a workstand)?

Some of the above are serious, others just need minor correction. Others will be able to suggest other possibilities I'm sure.

 

[mr Mag00]

thanks for that.have checked all those and none, the wheels are a year old and it has just started. seems not many other have suggestions

 

[mr Mag00]

well i have been backing off the spokes until it has now all but stopped, thanks for the help

I would only back off spokes if the tension was too high the creaking may be the spokes rubbing at the cross over points assuming it's a traditional lacing pattern and not got straight pull or bladed spokes ? Try droping bit of oil in between the spokes where they cross.
