He maybe did a few things and the noise vanished so actually cant say which one worked.

I guess maybe that's what he meant

on my TCR, 1 year old with 2000 miles on the clock
BB replaced with DuraAce fitted with TF2 grease
Headset cleaned and greased with TF2
Pedal Spindles cleaned and greased Tf2
QR Skewers cleaned and greased TF2
Seat post cleaned greased TF2
Chainring bolts tight. All the above with no effect

After checking the www tonight im thinking the next step is to refit the BB with either Morgans blue aqua grease or Loctite 638.

Would appreciate people thoughts and experience

It will be the bottle cage bolts which are not tight enough.

To clarify for all, as I don't wish to cause offence to anybody that helped with suggestion but I was saying thankyou. I completed all the checks Tuesday afternoon and rode the bike today and the creak has gone so couldn't specify which problem or problems where causing the problems but it was definitely not the cage bolts. That's not what I meant to say but was saying, did anybody understand me?

Glad it’s sorted. My TCR creak was cage bolts. Best bang for buck bike ever!

Phew.. my TCR has not started creaking yet but this is a thread to cut out & keep !
