Hi - any advice on how to get rid of creaks and clicks on my relatively new Zesty 514? (6 months old). Is there a way where I can simply spray (but with what) the rear bearing points to help reduce REALLY ANNOYING CREAKS AND CLICKS? What would I use if this were the case or what else could I do? It's definitely the rear end as have already tightened and regreased the obvious creaky areas (saddle, chainring bolts, handlebard bolts etc). Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Strip clean inspect and replace of service.

    i had a 2013 spicy 516 and it was always creaking/clicking to start with it was just the seat but then the bearings started i would have to strip them and re-pack with grease quite often to stop this i did think about upgrading the bearings to some better quality ones but sold the bike instead

    Cheers peeps! Wonder if it simply needs a 'tighten up' as been ridden but not properly serviced? Thanks for the advice - all pretty sound. LBS is pretty s#*t but probably what I should do! Don't have the tools to take apart myself so would cost money to buy tools or take to another shop.
