Have had a CAAD 12 for just over a year slowly upgraded to sram red including crank.
All was well for first 6 months then suddenly had the dreaded BB30 creak.
Won't bore you with details but changed BB bearings twice then putting a C Bear gxp conversion kit on it.
Still freking creaking.
Just about to sell bike when a mate said he overheard a conversation in a bike shop regarding same problem, they said make sure rear skeewer was very tight, I've been running some lightweight skeewers so changed to an old Shimano one. No creaks thank f***k for that.
Really can't believe it, must be the rear wheel moving in droopouts, same applies to CAAD 10,s makes exactly the same noise as the dreaded BB30 creak.

It's often the derailleur hanger that creaks against the frame. Removing hanger, cleaning, then a smear of silicone grease behind the hanger should do the trick.0
