Fierte carbon stay/chain stay creak

[Sideache]

Any ideas about how to quiet creaking noises at the carbon seat stay and chain stay torx bolt interface? Driving me crazy. Is this a common issue? I have ruled out most other causes.

Hey, welcome.

Use the Search Forum tool and type in Fierte Creak. You'll find a few threads on this issue. May not be where you think it is.

I thought I had that problem and the resolution was found at the seat post. Not sure that is what's going on for you, but that is where it was for me.

mostly while climbing out of the saddle. tightened crank arms, tightened down cassette, tightened seat rail bolt and seat tube binder.

and the solution was a slightly loose threadless headset. loosened stem bolts, cranked down compression bolt, tightened stem bolts.

all quiet now.

And there's always not-tight-enough skewers.

Not that it isn't the torx junction, but some of these are easier to rule out.
