Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I discovered the wonder of grease (Park PolyLube 1000) for all threads and (a very small amount in) the freewheel. That along with Carbon Fiber paste (Finish Line Fiber Grip) my bike is finally virtually creak free

Note that I found removing the plastic inserts in my Shimano SPD-SL pedals helped as well with clicking noises when hammering down on them. I assume this is ok.

life is good
