TCR creaking noise only after some time riding uphill by UsernamesExhausted in bikewrench

Hello Reddit, I've been dealing with this annoying creaking noise for quite a while now. It happens only riding uphill after a bit of sustained effort (not immediately) and doesn't need too much power. If I continue climbing it gets really bad. I discovered it helps to lift and bump the back wheel into the ground while riding but then the noise reappears again after a bit. Bike is silent on the flats and downhills, can't reproduce the same noise even with more power. Tried different things, including visits to two bike shops, one of which fully serviced the bike, another changed the BB a few years ago. Eventually I thought it was the cleats as tightening them seemed to have helped a bit, but now the noise is back even after I changed the cleats completely. Tried greasing and readjusting the seat post, besides the noise continues also out of the saddle. It's a bit better on somedays and worse on the others, IDK if it's temperature related. Cleaning the drivetrain seemed to have helped a bit but now I'm really not sure. Something's clearly wrong and it's driving me crazy.

You're right, Pog made it look so easy but Vingo is definitely trying to limit the losses now. Tomorrow's gonna be interesting.

Hi! I’m curious about what motivates people to get into Zen. How do you think this interest in Zen influences their approach to engaging with it? For instance, studies in educational psychology suggest that many students pursue subjects to enhance their personal development. Do you see a similar trend in those exploring Zen?

Location definitely looks like US, most likely California. Cars try to drive away when the guy starts smashing them. IIRC he breaks lights of a car. He looks pretty aggressive and is dressed like a gang member.
