Giant Toughroad frame creaking issue solved

I heard it here I heard it there, that bloody creaking was everywhere.

There are 3 main points of contact, the forks into the headset, the crank into the bottom bracket and the seat post into the seat tube. I redid the forks bearings with silicone grease and was looking at doing the crank when I thought I'd try the seat post and clamp first as it was easier. I used lots of molybdenum grease all over the 3 clamp pieced and inner seat tube and Bingo, the creak has vanished. Be careful with that clamp though, it can fall down into the bottom of the tube if you're not careful and may get lodged there.
