My TT bike has started making an odd cracking sound when I apply the front brake. The bike is a rim brake giant trinity with carbon wheels.
I’ve done all the bolts etc up and there isn’t anything I can see that would cause it. The only thing I can think it’ll be is maybe the wheel spokes need tightening?
Here’s a video of the sound…
… hopefully you can open it and help identify the problem
Came here expecting… not this! I think you mean creak?
Stem in steerer tube? Bars loose in stem clamp? Have you looked over the fork blades?
That’s certainly a distinctive sound. Where’s it coming from, the levers or the brakes themselves or somewhere else? My guess would be the springs in the brakes; either broken, or out of place so something is forced past them as you brake. But that’s just a guess.
Haha sorry to disappoint!
Good shout, I’ll check it out! Thank you
Don’t think it’s that, there’s no play in them but will double check
