Hi All,

I've had my bike for a couple of months now, I've recently noticed that there is a creaking sound when I pedal, when I let it free wheel there's no sound.

Not sure what it is, how I can fix it or whether it's normal.

Can anyone advise please?

Usual procedure on machinery after run-in is tighten all the screws, nuts and bolts. It's always amazing how many there are and how many slack.

Specifically, the pedal bolts. You may want to take the pedels off and grease the spindles. If you do, remember the L/H pedal is reverse thread.

Hey all, I had a call with C2 today, using my phone I recorded the sound and sent it over to tech support.

I confirmed all screws / bolts tightened, was asked to double check one particular bolt which I managed to tighten an extra 1/4 turn but it still continues to make the sound.

Further investigation actually now sounds like it's coming from the flywheel area, not the crank (I associated it with me pedalling but I only heard it when I was exercising and it was only when I was recording it that it became obvious is was further forward).

Long and short of it, they are replacing the main unit.

Did the replacement help?
