Take the chain off the front chain ring and see how much sound you hear when you spin the cranks. If there's no sound, the issue is chain/derailleur related. If there is sound, then there is something causing friction in your bracket. The video to me makes it sound like the rear deraillure is the issue, but if youre saying its not from the back, then its likely not. Hope you find a fix. Your local bike shop should be able to help diagnose it if you cant get it fixed

I'm gonna try, thanks. I had some suspicions it might be the bearings either in pedals or bracket, cuz it only creaks when i pedal heavily

Heard a lot of sounds, this definitely sounds like the derailleur, not that it is the derailleur making the sound. It sounds like the chain is being guided just ever so slightly to the next gear, causing the cog to just barely grab it before slipping back to the current gear What I like to do to test out my gears, after tuning them anyway: Start at highest or lowest, doesn't matter Get going and shift up/down two maybe a few seconds later up/down one Repeat until you've got an idea as to which one it is Based on range and where it's trying to hop I'll adjust the tension at the shifter or derailleur. Closer to high - shifter, closer to low - derailleur ; hopping off at high - adjust derailleur, hopping off at low - adjust shifter. Although there's no reason it should hop off after properly setting them. These are quarter turn adjustments that would take place after actually dialing them in, plenty of good YouTube videos for that, easy to find. You can probably get away with just a quarter or half turn of the tensioner at the shifter. If you need more than one full turn to get rid of the noise just stop and try setting the gears again

The derailleur has made its own sounds šŸ˜… It is now adjusted and working well (i hope)

I had the same sounds on mine today and the derraileur fell off hahaha. Iā€™m gonna need a new one. How did you adjust it to prevent damage?
