Hi all, anyone help!


I own a Kuoto Kebel (2009), with Campag Veloce groupset and Spinnergy wheels.
I've had the bike about 3 months and it's been back to the dealer's 3 times!

Problem is a squeaking noise that appears to be coming from the crank side. It only
appears to do it when I am either climbing or caining it on the chain gang!

The shop say they have had the bottom bracket out and regreased, same for the spindles,
frame and pedals. I tried it again on the chain gang, Tuesday night and back it came after
only a few minutes. I have also swapped cleats and shoes and my mate has ridden it too
and it makes the same noise when he has ridden it.


It is a weird fault, as I say on a leisurely ride it appears to be ok.

Any help, advice would be greatly appreciated.


Paul

Saddle rails? The frame will amplify creaks and make them impossible to identify by their apparent origination point. Trust me, I've been here. I started a thread a while ago on here where some awesome suggestions were given. Search is your friend.
