not sure what you ride, but PLEASE get it checked at your LBS! If it CF you may not SEE the crack... I had a friend how had a minor crash... checked the bike and didn't see anything... continued riding.... and the seatpost BROKE OFF... her saddle just fell off the bike while she was still rolling... I don't know HOW she kept from getting cut up! We were doing the CoolBreeze Century and were 58 miles in...

There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

My carbon bikes don't creak at all. However, my titanium cyclocross bike drives me nuts! It's a breakaway, and I can't figure out if it's that or something else but it creaks like crazy under load (climbing on a mtn bike trail).
I hate creaks!

Just to mention, when I can, I try to take my bike to the LBS when I can stay and watch what they do. Fortunately, they don't care if I sit and watch and ask dumb questions. They even let me behind the counter.

Maybe it was something in the computer set up, and not structural?

You are absolutely right. The computer was set for wheel#2. I noticed it when I went to change the odometer back to the correct distance. I don't know if the jump somehow moved it to the 2nd wheel setting or if I just didn't notice during the first part of the ride. I still don't know what the LOUD crack was. I've ridden several times since then and did some hills yesterday and it's handling just fine. Maybe the sensor hit a spoke when I landed...but it didn't really sound like that. Thanks for the input ladies.
