Feaking front quick release came loose... This was the cause of the craking that has been driving me nuts the past 6 months and drove me to look into non folding bikes more. I pulled the bike apart so many times, greasing the crap out of the hinge, building and rebuilding and rebuilding the headset.... Just a QR..
The bike has carbon forks, the QR was giving them side to side flex which somehow sent sound though the frame. After tightening the QR its much better. Not 100% but not so annoying now.
