Steve and Eric, thanks for your responses. I think I solved the problem with a very scientific approach. I took the wheel off and put it back on. It doesn't creak anymore. I'd guess it had to do with compression on the fork blades. For a while there, I was wishing I had the SKS's, but all's wel

I don't suppose, by any chance, your fender is making contact with the inside edges of the fork crown/fork blades? When you get out of the saddle, you're twisting the frame and the fork, and I've experienced the front wheel actually rubbing on the fork on one of my bikes. On 04/04/2017 09:34
