Loud creaking noise ever time I peddle?

[Mickthemove]

Went out this morning and every time I turned the peddle I got a loud creaking noise, I know it's not the wheels as they were brand new hand builds today, it only happened when I pushed down on the pedal and not when I peddled used the up stroke, if that makes any sense?

The bike is only 6 months old and done a couple of thousand miles and is a BB30 if that helps, any advice gratefully received , thanks Mick

Take it back to the shop for repair under warranty.

I had a creaking noise a couple of weeks ago & I was convinced it was peddle or wheel related but it turned out to be the seat so may be worth checking that out.

That is the next step although I am looking to have some ideas of what could be wrong as not to getter mugged off by a spray of wd40 when I go in!

Thanks! I spent a couple of miles, doing all sorts on the bike and it only happened when I pedalled properly! More so when I stood up

My Look Keo's used to creak. Solution was to put a tiny bit of grease on the contact points with the cleats. I had done a few thousand miles on them though. If the bike, pedals and shoes are all new then I would check everything is tight and if necessary take it back to lbs.

Yes, it is always good to have a little more knowledge, just as long as you don't tinker with anything and invalidate your warranty.

why do think it's a warranty issue?

Get yourself a pedal spanner and some grease.

Unscrew the pedals (keep them apart and marked up L & R) then lightly grease the threads of the pedals and the threads in the crank arms.

Reassemble.

Any disatisfaction with the product* within 6 months of purchase is a warranty issue IMV.

*other than size, colour, style etc...

I will attack the pedals first as they were not on the bike, if that does not sort it I will take it in as all parts other than the frame have a 12 month warranty, I hope it's the pedals really as I don't want to have to take it in.

I have just got new pedals as well so it may be time to try them out!
