Badman Frame Noise - Squeaks and Creaks?

[charlie4]

So I just purchased another Badman. Unboxed and opened frame and heard squeaks and creaks. My first two pairs are fine, but for some reason when I open this pair and put it on, the frame makes noises. Is it a manufacturers defect, is it something to be concerned about, should I take them back and get another pair. Anyone else have a Badman that squeaks ?

I've seen another thread or two describing similar noises. Don't own one myself though.

Try using lens cleaner on the orbitals and hinges. It usually silences squeaks.

My Badman has no "noise", squeaks and creaks whatsoever..... Maybe a bit of cleaner as adviced by Bosoxyacht might help.

Used the cleaner, and a lot of it. It worked for a bit, then after about a day the cleaner evaporated and it started again. Looks like they're going back and ordering a new pair. Thanks for the advice.

the only other thing I would do isake sure all the bolts are tight, but if they are new, you may as well just exchange them.
