Picked FSA over Shimano for my gravel build and kinda regretting it
Built up a used Kona Rove last month and had to choose between a Shimano GRX crank for $180 or an FSA Gossamer for $90. I went cheap to save cash for tires. Now after about 200 miles the non-drive side arm is getting this weird creak when I stand on it. Torqued it to spec twice already. Anyone dealt with FSA cranks creaking or is this just a bad batch thing?

Did you grease the spindle and the pedal threads when you installed it? A lot of people skip that on FSA stuff and it creaks like crazy. Also check if the wave washer on the non-drive side is seated right because I've seen those shift around on the Gossamers and cause all sorts of noise.
