I'd definitely start with removing the crank and BB, regrease it, and re-assemble. The old Square taper cartridge units can click if not greased up and tight enough, and the same with GXP. Then if not gone start with other areas. QR/through axel tight ?

One mans tick is another mans creak :okay:

The only creaks or clunks on my bikes come from the rider ! :whistle: I get a rather large clunk from my left leg when I put that down at traffic lights. Re-greasing hasn't worked :laugh:

I found greasing the inside of the non drive side cup where the bb sits inside it cured many a tick or creak with screw in bb designs
