    This creaking is driving me crazy - any ideas?

    Try greasing the pedal threads also... Remove the pedals, apply grease to the threads and refit. It sounded very much like a failing bottom bracket on one of my bikes.

    Ah yes, planning on the Giant. Went to a Giant store on saturday and confirmed availability, sizing etc, however there is no bike to demo yet, so I am reluctant to commit such a sum with out a demo. The large are being built last, so it will be a few weeks before I find out if it suits me. Good...

    New to the world of Pedelecs
