Had a customer bring in a creaky bottom bracket I swore was loose, but the noise was actually the seatpost after I greased the threads.

I chased the sound for 45 minutes before a Park Tool AWS-10 torque wrench on the binder bolt proved me wrong. Anyone else get totally fooled by a noise traveling through the frame like that?

That sound always takes the scenic route.

@the_jake's right, it's like a universal law of misplaced effort.

Why would you even check the seatpost first?
