should be done every 100 miles or so
Okay, so every 3 to 4 days for me, check.
Is it a continuous creaking while pedaling? Or specific to left or right down stroke? Can you replicate the noise while on a stand pedaling by hand or is only under power?
It's continuous enough, I think I pretty much hear it on both down strokes. I can't replicate it in a stand, only under load.
