▲ 5 r/CYCMotor
Any ideas on the issue here, I ran a cyc photon gen 1 on this bike with no issues, but the gen 2 motor has had creaking whenever I pedal. Very annoying.
I've tried a ton of things, installing it on another bike, retorque and regrease everything nothing works.
The part I don't understand is why the photon gen 1 never made these noises. My guess is the design/where it contacts the frame. I've read some comments about needing to distribute the force across more of the downtube using an aluminum or steel plate.
Just looking for suggestions here. If anyone had a similar issue and was able to fix it. The bike is an aluminum hardtail. Thanks in advance for any advice!
