I just spent about a week and a half with a creak. First thing I checked was my seatpost into the frame. Didn't see anything, so I mucked around with the pedals, the derailleur, the thru axles, the cassette, the headset, the chainline, the bottom bracket, the bb axle spline and bolts.

Pulling my hair out. I was hating the bike.

I took one more look at the seatpost where it fits into the frame. This time I saw a dry spot about as big as my little fingernail. A smear of carbon paste and now I'm ridin' quiet again. What the actual F? Did I just miss it the first time around?
