Normal fixes didn't solve my tick/creak sound...
Generally every two months or so I have to do maintenance to get rid of an annoying click/tick/creak sound, but this time I can't find it. It's usually the BB, headset, or on rare occasion the freehub.
Seems to be while I pedal only. 2015 Felt F3, Dura Ace 9000, Quarq Riken BB30, Enve 4.5 dt240, Speedplay Zero cro-mo Have done the following: -clean/lube DT freehub -clean/lube bottom bracket -check chainring bolts -new chain -new cassette -service headset -lubricate cleats -check pedal lube -lubricated cables where they touch the frame Race this weekend is going to drive me bonkers if I can't find it... then again maybe it will drive everyone else bonkers too and they'll let me go off the front to get rid of the noise

remove wheels, clean axle stubs and dropout faces thoroughly, reinstall with a smear of grease on axles stubs. Voila~

Do you perform maintenance to ALL the items above at the same time?
Do you do that because the creak appears or just routine? Are you trying to say on occasion the cause has been any of the above listed items but this time, not so? Once I get a better understanding, I can provide some useful answers.

Cassette/chain were just needed, added to list in case anyone had issues there. I did the maintenance in order of what I thought it was: BB/chainring bolts, test ride Freehub, test ride Headset, test ride Pedals/cleats/cables, test ride It's only been a couple of months since I did all these things as preventatives so in this case it was just to eliminate the noise. But I figured it doesn't hurt to clean/re-grease. I think in the past it has been headset/steerer (more than once), freehub, BB. The others were just more ideas to try.

if you're creaking during a race and it's bothering you you're not racing hard enough

Seatpost is cracked. Does it have the double bolt clamp?

+1 for pedals. My Speedplays get creaky when the grease gets low, and it often goes away when I stand on them. If your Speedplays spin more than 1 revolution when you flick them, they need grease. Might also check the cleats.

Bb?
What specific bb are you using?
I have found that some bikes creak no matter what unless you upgrade the bb. Plastic press in bb's like a SRAM PF30 tend to be the worst. A thread together system like the Wheels MFG. bb tends to be the most silent. Quote:
