Hey all, I was hoping someone hear might have some insight into a creaking sound coming from my drivetrain. It's a GX AXS derailleur, GX cassette, and xx1 chain. The creaking sound in the video appears ONLY in my largest cog/smallest gear when pushing above 130 watts or so. All 11 other gears are just fine.
Troubleshooting steps I already took are replacing the derailleur hanger, rebuilding the derailleur mounting bolt with the madrone super shim kit, and cleanin/regreasing the freehub pawls.
The only other things I can think of that might be causing this are the cassette itself (maybe one of the rivets has broken?) or the wheel bearings, but I would expect to hear the noise in all my gears if that was the case.
GX AXS creaking sound in largest cog

I had an issue like that with a force 10-36 cassette. Only creaked in the largest cog. I have two wheels with same cassette size and ended up swapping the creaky one b/w wheels. It ended up being the cassette. If I remember the biggest cogs were pinned on and the pins were creaking. My lbs ended up replacing the cassette.
