Hi,

This just started happening. When I spin easy, the bike is whisper quiet but as soon as I put a little bit of effort into my pedal stroke, the creaking starts. Crank and BB is Force compact with GXP BB.

Bike has an aluminum BB area (BMC Race Master) and I didn't see any visible crack. Just checked the chain ring bolts and I was able to tightened them up quite a bit. I couldn't tighten the crank arm bolt at all.
