Thanks for the reply guys. Have brand new pedals on it so shouldn't be those, I'll check the cranks and if it's not that then I'll get my local shop to investigate (I'm a crap mechanic). The cables are definitely noisy when I turn the bars they rub together and move around internally it's pretty crowded in there I haven't made space by going 1x yet.
Will let you guys know what I find out.
I had to push a piece of foam rubber into the downtube (remove fork to get access). This cured my noisy cables, which could be your problem.

Hello guys I'm about to switch into a full suspension bike and the best match I can get right now is a Trance frameset with no shock.
It would be a kind of frankenstein, because it would be ensambled with my current components:
26 wheels
160 pike
200X57 shock.

Please, is it a bad idea? Let me know your opinions and impressions.
BB height will be reduced by the smaller rear wheel, no?

Yes you're right but, I think the fact of using a 542 AC fork length (160mm-26" = same length than 150mm-27,5) and 2,4 tires would compensate it. I think it may result in a BB height very similar to the Trance 27,5 with a 140mm fork and 2,25 tires. ,

Good to know I'm not the only one. Still can't find where the rest of the noises are coming from (or able to find what it is that causes them, it's random) I've made sure everything's tight and it's not the cranks so I think I'll get my local shop mech to check it over. No effect on performance so I'll just live with it till then

I have a constant click that comes from my seatpost. I take it off, clean and lube the shaft and retorque, then it's gone....until a couple of weeks until the post gets dirty it starts to click again
