Anyone want to have a go at diagnosing this..
I have a 2002 Marin Rift Zone that's been creaking for a little while. The bike is regularly oiled and the seat post has been greased. I've regreased the headset, tightened the cranks and replaced the bottom bracket recently.....but the creak persists.
Last ride I tried to isolate it and can advise the following;
Any other ideas gratefully received.

Last ride I tried to isolate it and can advise the following;
- The creak exists whether I sit or stand (so I'm eliminating the seat and post).
The creak only occurs at a reasonably fast cadence but at any torque level i.e. same noise in easy gear or hard.
It seams to be mainly on the downstroke of the right crank arm but other less annoying noises can be heard at other times.
I'm pretty sure I heard a slightly (yet similar) different creak on a downhill section where I wasn't pedalling
Any other ideas gratefully received.
