It has indeed been used for that very purpose

Anyway, back on-topic...

Take everything apart, give it a clean, grease and oil the bits that are meant to be greasy and oily, then put it all back together again. That often cures random creaks without ever actually diagnosing what the problem was.

Does it count the fact that Huw made me buy a new bike (with my own money of course)?

No, I didn't think so either

I just had to do it

A bed at my cousin's place in Charmouth was like that. I barely slept as I was trying to turn over without it creaking so I never relaxed enough to go into a really deep sleep and the creak woke me up if I did start to drift off

Thanks for all the advice (and abuse ). The plan is to swap pedals and wheels with those off Michelle's bike (sssh, don't tell her), and if it's still making a racket, replace the bottom bracket.

Fingers crossed.

Snitch!

I'm only "borrowing" bits. I prefer my wheels anyway.

Hey Keith, look on the bright side weak riders never that that squeaky noise unless the chain is rusty.

Hhhhmmm our George must hear that noise nearly every day!!

[Keith]

George must need earplugs!

I've started to use it as a training aid - If I can get it to creak all the way around, I must have a really progressive pedalling action, putting in power all the way around.
