Bike Creeks - Triathlon Week

My bike creeks about 30 minutes after I start riding it. The creek is
in/near the pedals. What could this be and how do I fix it.

Thanks,
Gary
P.S. It's GMC roadrace Denali

Take pedals off, grease threads, reinstall tight.

Try:

- tightening screws on your bike shoe bottom.

- remove and re-tighten your bottom bracket. You may have to ask a bike
shop to help you with this. This is what I needed to do to fix the
exact same problem. Very frustrating to debug.

Good luck

Creeking sounds from a pedal does not mean that something near of inside
pedals is creeking. Try asking in news:rec.bicycles.tech. The best option is
to do a thorough search 'n fix. Begin with removing pedals and try to use
some spare ones. Or remove, clean, grease and re-install them. Then try for
one or two rides.
If this doesn't cure the problem, then go for crankx, b-b etc. Also try your
shoes

Shoes? What would my shoes do?

What kind of pedals/cleats do you have? I've found that especially with
the LOOK system, when the cleats get worn down they begin to move a
little bit in the pedal and you'll begin to hear a creaking sound. You
might try replacing your cleats.

I'm just using my running shoes, I think it's the pedals they are a
little lose and my grandmother doesn't have the right socket to fix
it :( I'll have to go to my neighbors thanks for the help.
