Not sure if it's the frame's pivots, the drivetrain or the chain. been trying to lube every single moving part but have not had any success.<br><br>the noise only becomes noticeable on the lower gears and on added loads (i.e. uphills and off-saddle pedaling).<br><br>any update on the fix? warm regards... hi rob! recently got a 5.spot frame and have ridden it a couple of times. noticed the same “creeking” noise at the bike's rear end.

the noise only becomes noticeable on the lower gears and on added loads (i.e. uphills and off-saddle pedaling).

any update on the fix? warm regards…

I really like the versatility of this frame. I can throw on a 160mm or 140mm fork and the frame just performs. It still has that Turner feel too.<br><br>I am working on a creek right now though that is a little frustrating.

I am working on a creek right now though that is a little frustrating. There is a fix…so as soon as I finish that…I should be ready to writeup the final review.

I do like this frame better than the TM.
