I've chased a similar annoying creak to the derailleur hanger once, removed it, cleaned out the dust, put a thin smear of grease down and creak be gone. Check all of the things.so Ive noticed creaking coming from my BB area when i put power down. Ive diagnosed this as the most likley area as it only makes the noise when im pedaling and increases in intensity the harder i push. Not the seat as it occurs when pedal standing up, its actually worse then.
I've taken everything apart down there, cleaned, re greased etc. Ive inspected the frame, chainring, bearings, cranks, the pedals have been removed, threads checked, reinstalled etc and all seems to be in order. Any thing else it could be down there at i may have not known to check? Whats the next incremental change i can do if i cant diagnose? eg replace press fit BB bearings?
They are great bars and a world away from the Alu 35mm clamp bars and carbon Santa Cruz bars I have ridden. Though have never tried any other carbon 35mm bars.I've got the oneup now, just looking at 40mm rise 35mm clamp dia bar options. 780 is how my bars are cut now, so no drama. Wanting to sus out if the premium gets me anything that others don't do (like the oneup claims re its oval shape etc).
I've had some success with water bottle diagnosis of a pivot squeak in the past.Any thing else it could be down there at i may have not known to check? Whats the next incremental change i can do if i cant diagnose? eg replace press fit BB bearings?
Squidfayce has an Infiniti Link down there on the Yeti.I've had some success with water bottle diagnosis of a pivot squeak in the past.
When you hear it out riding, stop and squirt some water at the pivots/pedals/bb/etc you think are causing it. Try them one at a time. If it stops squeaking you may have found your dry spot. But the water will dry out and it will squeak again, so need to pull apart and clean/regrease as appropriate.
trying to take a measured approach. ill check the hanger after the shock pivot and bushes.I've chased a similar annoying creak to the derailleur hanger once, removed it, cleaned out the dust, put a thin smear of grease down and creak be gone. Check all of the things.
yeha i got the 20. seems good. nothing really to compae it to though. considdered the 35 as it woul dbe 120 bucks cheaper, but figured if i go 40, and its to high, i can drop it on the stack, but i cant make the 35 higher as im right at the top of the steerer as it is.They are great bars and a world away from the Alu 35mm clamp bars and carbon Santa Cruz bars I have ridden.

I have both OneUp 20mm rise and 35mm rise versions on my Spur and Highlander.
I've pulled the infinity out a couple weeks ago and gave it a service and a lube with yeti's moly grease. The carbon looks ok down there (at the BB). Gave it a good look over. May need to look over the frame as a whole next just in case. That has been my biggest concern in general.Squidfayce has and Infiniti Link down there on the Yeti.
Chainring interface with crank, pedal spindles and bb cups.
Also check for cracked carbon.
Next eliminate stem/steerer, spacers, bar/stem and top cap.
ill take a look, easy to do. I d say i would be able to hear it when not peddaling but given the hub noise totally impossible to tell. CheersMy rear Axle was a bit loose, not heaps but enough to let the hub move in the drop outs, and it sounded like the BB was well and truly stuffed
To clarify, when you serviced the SI, did you service ALL the linkage and pivot bearings? I imagine you would, since the whole frame is apart, but not certain you have. If you haven't, I would almost guarantee this is where your noise is coming from.I've pulled the infinity out a couple weeks ago and gave it a service and a lube with yeti's moly grease.

The chain ring, crank, pedal spindles and bb cups have all been taken apart, inspected, cleaned to a brand new finish - not it. Only other possible thing i feel it could be down there is bearings, but thats a last resort fix as i dont have the tools for extracting them.
while i know creaks can carry in funny ways, im certain its not coming from the steerer.
nah the whole frame doesnt have to come apart to get the SI out on the sb150. SO i did not service anything else.To clarify, when you serviced the SI, did you service ALL the linkage and pivot bearings?

Do a quick bounce test out in your driveway. Mine started squawking and the crew I was riding were adamant it was my bb. I ignored my bb (which will still need to be done soon), and regreased all my suspension doodads. Blissfull silence and buttery smoothness.nah the whole frame doesnt have to come apart to get the SI out on the sb150. SO i did not service anything else.
Chain-less run time... or possibly new bike time?.ill take a look, easy to do. I d say i would be able to hear it when not peddaling but given the hub noise totally impossible to tell. Cheers
It's a Yeti, definitely new bike time. If it's not the SI system, then it's the pressfit bb, if it's not that, it's a crack.Chain-less run time... or possibly new bike time?.
Savage. I love it.Will there be line choice tips?
