Worrying sounds

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

I was recently riding at Manly Dam and heard a worrying creaking/clisking noise coming from what seems to be the suspension. (maybe it's the headset?) I've heard the sound before and never payed too much attention to it. Its gotten worse (every bump i hear the noise) and i am a little at loss at what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx Laughing out loud

Bearing replacement

One set of the bearings in both my headset (Ritchey Pro Semi-Integrated Press Fit) and in my bottom bracket (Shimano XT Hollowtech II) are starting to make crunching noises - so I guess both got dirt and water in and corroded the bearing or the race. I have tried cleaning and lubing and that does seem to help for a few rides but I suspect the bearings are gone.
