hey everyone,
i did a search on the topic but nothing seemed to directly address it, so here goes...
yesterday during my ride i noticed an intermittent creaking sound coming from the (threaded) headset/stem/fork area of my bike (a 99 gt hardtail with rockshox jett fork). at first i figured that it was something coming from the drivetrain, but it persisted even while freewheeling. also, it only occurred while on the trails, and was silent on the pavement in the parking lot. it did rain quite a bit in the morning before i rode so it was a fairly wet ride, and the bike was hosed off afterwards. any ideas?
thx
