That's a similar issue I'm dealing with. I changed the crankset, pedals, etc and it did not go away. I'm thinking it could be from where the metal BB insert meets the carbon frame.

Hi, do you still ride the frame/have the problem?

My BB shell is now creaking, too... I contacted Workswell and they offered me to send me a new BB shell and some glue. But I'm sure anyway that taking out the aluminum insert will damage the frame irreversible.


To be fair: the creaking didn't come from the BB. It came from the bearings inside the rear hub. I found that by lubing and fixing every part on the bike one by one.
BUT that doesn't solve the problem with the delamination of the seattube..
Anyway, I ride my bike and it is still lot of fun:

I'm still a bit confused about these. BB standards. My crank is a shimano fc m8000 single 34T chainring, what BB type of the frame will I specify?

Pick a BB standard that works best for you.  BSA works best for me as I have the tools to install it the easiest.  For example, if you're planning on using that shimano m8000 chainring and crank on a BSA frame, you'll need the appropriate bottom bracket, which I believe is the Shimano MT800 that fits threaded 68/73 bottom bracket shells.  Look up 'bottom bracket standards' and have a quick read at some articles, hope that helps.

Thanks! Another question: would a 6" steerer tube work with the workswell 062?

Don't see why it wouldn't.  But is that enough steerer for you to install the rest of your cockpit stuff?  I usually only see 6" steerers on smaller bikes, so it's hard for me to say.  If you ride a 15.5" or 17", you'll have only a couple inches to work with.  If that works for you, go for it.

I'm planning on a 15.5 small size.. I bought a Fox 32 SC from ebay but the steerer tube is already cut to 6".

According to workwell's website, the 15.5" frame has a 90mm head tube.  Basic math tells me you'll have about 62.4mm or 2.45 inches, probably a little less, to work with for your spacers, stem, and top cap.

Another question, please bear with me. Will my m8000 single chainring 34T crankset fit in this frame?

I have an M8000 36t chairing on this frame 34 will fit without problem.

It will take even larger chainrings, depending on the crank's chainline. I have a 38T Absoluteblack oval chainring on an M8000 XT crankset on this frame. No problem, there are still a few mm of clearance between the chainring and the frame.
