Hey guys,
Ive recently accquired a brand new Felt F55, it was an awesome machine during the 1st 4 days. Until i started hearing nasty creaking sounds from the headtube area. The creaks are most obvious when i apply my front brakes or do some hard pedalling uphill, ive also managed to hear the creaking noises when i lock my front brake and rock the bike front and back. Initially i suspected that this might be an issue with a faulty/ badly installed headset. In the past 2 weeks i have returned about 6 times to the LBS whom i purchased this bike from, and they too have re-fitted my headset bearings, expander, multiple times. Unfortunately the sound is usually back to haunt me merely just 1 - 2 days after it has been re-install. This is awfully depressing as i'am really clueless on what the problem might be, could simillar owners of the F55 comment if they have a simillar experience ? its upsetting that a brand new bike should have these sort of problems. Need help quick !
