Fixed gear bikes/ Post your big bikes V2
Finn the Human:
It definitely wasnt the seatpost guts. I slathered the post in grease, put it back in the frame but it still creaked. A bit of bedtime googling told me that regular grease and carbon is a big no no because it can make it swell. In the morning I checked it and the creakiness has gone. Took it out and wiped off all the grease and did the same to the frame. The creak was still gone. Hurrah!
Tl;Dr
It creaked, I greased it, it doesn't creak.
Sasha:
Whack some carbon paste in there!

Stopped to check everything over while doing a loop of sherwood pines this morning.
Rides really well, although the forks could do with an oil change I think so that will be on the cards when I get back from Sweden in a couple of weeks. Off to Cannock on Friday as well.
Finn the Human:
Looking good!
Tom, I used mucoffs carbon grease originally.
Sasha:
The "carbon gripper" stuff? That is fine to have in there. It has little bits of something in there so you don't have to torque the parts as much and they will still grip. My Chinese post that came with the frame had some texture on it already, though, you would be able to get away without using the paste if yours is the same.
