[JarradSmith]

it creaks like a bitch, idk why or how to fix it... any help would be appreciated

mods can lock this when the question is answered.

oil

just tighten the fuck out of it. Make sure the foldy plate is off though (the thing at the front)

 

[konowaluk]

make all the bolts super tight

 

[Joe Riley]

sometimes its just the bolts you use. some are creaky and squeak, others are silent. itll go away eventually.

Use One 8 Mill In Bottom An Two 10 Mills In Top ,Hard To Get In But Worked For Me!!

 

[Joe Riley]

no. 8mm bottom and behind the headtube. 10mm in the top inside the headtube.

they make the holes on top bigger now i think because mine never creaked before and now it does on my new pro using the same bolts, but i just put some grease in between the headtube and the mech and it is silent now :]

and dont just tighten it as hard as you can, i snapped part of my brand new pro mech behind the back bolt by tightening it too much trying to get the creaking to stop.

 

[demo]

weld it.

 

[DMazz]

sometimes its the headset. watch out for that bc when i had a stock headset i thought it was my folding mech creeking when it was my headset. just tighten and secure everything

 

[JonnyJonDogg]

just tighten EVERYTHING

 

[ryan kruse]

take the bolts out then put them back in then tighten the shit out off it
