QR's were the culprit

[QUOTE=LongIslandTom;13306256]

Tighten the QRs for the wheels. I've had those creak under power on each stroke of the pedal because they weren't tight enough, and it made me think it was the BB.



Agree with LongIslandTom that many things can cause creaking. Read on another post the a bike can "cast its voice" to make you think it's creaking in one place, but really coming from another. In my case, I thought the issue was the bottom bracket, but ended up being a slightly loose hub and QR that creaked under pressure. Took a minute to tighten both and creak was gone. It's a process of elimination...
