Recnetly bought this bike and it has developed some creaking in the cranks after 2 rides. Thought it was the pedals but I took the pedals off the check and the creaks still happened. How shouldnI take care of this? Thanks.

Loosen the pinch bolts on the crankarms, tighten down the spindle bolts, retighten the pinch bolts.
Then tighten your sprocket bolt as well.
If it sticks around i wouldn’t worry too much, creaking is pretty normal considering the abuse these bikes take.
Copper slip the axle where the crank arms sit.
Update: fixed the creak. Took the cranks apart and put in some grease. Turns out they were bone dry.
Get some pedals, ride it.
