Thanks both.

I've checked with Decathlon and they have both the 54 & 57 in stock so I'll be there on Sunday whizzing about. Just need to find the place now.

It's about a 2 minute walk if you're lazy like me. Left out of the station, head towards the shopping centre and you'll see it on the other side of the water.
If you rotate this page you will see the blue sign of Decathlon alongside the leany-over building.

The one with the bikes is the one on the left (the west). They also do the cheapest coffee I've come across recently.

That's great thank you

Good luck, hope you get the one you want. You won't regret it.

Get the red one. They're the best.

That's the one I'm after. Not as impressed by the newer version that is coming out. Seems I timed this "bright idea" just right for a change.

Starting to get a slight creek sounds like maybe from the bb. Only under load. Anyone else had it or is it just my knees?

Yep. This one of the reasons mine went in for its 6 month service a month early. Will be ready for me at 7 today.

Its a tough one to find aswell. As it doesn't make the noise when in rack.

Yeah that sounds like it. Under a gentle spin no noise, but start pushing and it's there. Wondering whether it was anything to do with the wet roads yesterday ( first time in the wet)

I was told that the service is at any point between 3-6months(?)

I'll give it a clean and try tomorrow and see how it goes. It's only 2weeks old so might just take it back in for them to have a look at.

Could be under tightened BA, best get it in to the store - find someone smart to talk to and keep an eye on what transpires because it might have inflicted some damage.

At first I thought it was the dreaded wheel bearing. But as I said it was only under load. Luckily It started just at the end of my ride. I think it's back to reading tomorrow.

mine was doing the creaks, was better for about 2-3 weeks after the shop saw it (replaced BB) and has now started to creak intermittantly (under load) every now and again. shame it was nice whilst it was silent!

 

[Billy Adam]

Would it be a case of fitting a better BB?

 

[Radchenister]

I would gamble on crankarm and BB connection (spindle) but it's never simple:
