Spent three hours on a creak that turned out to be a loose bottle cage bolt
A customer brought in a high end road bike with a loud creak from the bottom bracket area. I pulled the crankset, checked the BB threads, greased everything, and put it back together. The noise was still there. After checking the seatpost and pedals, I finally found the front bottle cage bolt was just a quarter turn loose. Has anyone else wasted a whole morning on a simple fix like that?

My local shop once chased a click for a week that was just a dry chain link.

Had a creak that turned out to be a loose bottle cage bolt. Felt pretty dumb after that.

Classic. We've all been there.
