Hello,

I just bought a new K2 Mod 3.0 (2003), and after just 2 days out of the shop I am already getting creaks and sqeaks. The rear hub makes a squeking noise when it turns, the front headset makes a creaking noise when it turns, and the bottom bracket also makes a creaking noise when I pedal. Are these signs of faulty componentry, and should I demand they be fixed? Or is there something I can do to upkeep and maintain these parts? Thanks for your input.

It shouldn't do that. Take it back to the shop.
