Sticky. Yes. I doubt it's your crank but here is my story. My buddy had a creak. He will pay me what it takes to find it. I probably tried a lot of what has been mentioned here. I am thinking the crank somewhere. It was a 6700 or 6800. I put my Shimano crank on his bike> no creak. His crank on my bike> creak. Then swap just crank arms, DS, NDS, my bike, his bike, you get the idea.
Turned out his DS Shimano crank was separating as we know they tend to do.

New crank for him. I think I still have his NDS arm somewhere.
