Kickr Shift Bike Creaking

hi there, I’ve had the shift bike a few months, done about 600km on it, so it’s still newish.

Annoyingly the frame has started creaking very loudly when there’s any form of lateral forces put through it and it’s driving me insane. So when sprinting or out the saddle, it creaks like an old metal bed.

No creaks when I’m dead still doing zone 2, but as soon you stand up, all hell breaks loose. I’ve added a recording for reference which is me activating the creak just by wiggling a little. https://youtube.com/shorts/CrZ14JkHiy4?si=Tmaga0JSowO8YJNA

Anyone know how to fix this? I hoped to grease up inside the grey frame where the frame height adjuster screw is, but you can’t get the grey frame off the black base. Feeling at a dead end.

My Move does something very similar. I thought it was my cranks or my seat post, but it happens when I just rock it back and forth sideways.

So I’m also interested if anyone has a solution.

I have resolved the noise in case any future people come by this post. One of the front 4 bolts for the front leg was too tight. By loosening the bolt the sqeak noise has now gone.
