Hi all,

Boardman team fs about 4 weeks old has started creaking from back end and its getting right on my T**ts. bike done about 200miles or so, do I have to lube the pivots or tighten pivots up?

Or do I just return to halfords to have a look

Thanks in advance

    Get Halfords to fix it, but do a quick bolt torque check first......if one is loose you want them to acknowledge it in case it causes issues later!

    My fs team does the same. You need to take the back wheel off and remove the back pivot bolts. They tend to get clogged with muck. Give them a good clean, grease. Should be ok after that. Might pay to check all the other pivot bolts as well. :D
