Mavic OpenPro clicking noise
Hi My problem is that my OP rims is clicking, afther a year or so, and the warranty is therefore gone :-( ie. all my OP rims, satin, black, CD klicks more or less. It seems that the eyelets not properly pressed, so they start moving around ... and click. I examined my old OpenSUP from the mid 90's, and there the eyelets is pressed properly to the rim. Anyone got a solution ? Jesper -- // Jesper Bröndum // jesper*at*apparatkonsult.com - replace '*at*' |

Anyone got a solution ? Common problem. get a small dropper of boiled lindseed oil, a drop on each eyelet/nipple area. If still clicks, it's the wedge they use to hold the rim together while they weld it. A teeny hole drilled there and fill with some sort of glue. I agree, poor show for these not cheap rims. Next time look at Velocity rims...better deal all around. http://www.velocityusa.com Jesper -- // Jesper Bröndum // jesper*at*apparatkonsult.com - replace '*at*' |

If you look at the inside of the rim where the spoke nipple bears on the eyelet, do you see any rust? It is my experience that clicking occurs between brass spoke nipples and steel eyelets when the zinc plating on the eyelets wears through to develop a fine layer of rust. The clicking is from fretting, the same micro-motion that wore off the zinc plating in the first place. This has been common in rims as long as I have observed them. http://www.amp.com/products/technolo...les/dd68_1.stm Jobst Brandt |

Very popular with the fixie crowd, but I've heard of issues with their durability. Without trudging into roadbikereview, I'd like to figure out what the hay is going on here. -eric |

on each eyelet will solve the problem for several hundred or more miles. Ditto. This method solved my click also. Careful not to put too much as it will eventually get in to the rim tape and tube and could cause a flat. Been there, done that. A little dab'll do 'ya. |

Careful not to put too much as it will eventually get in to the rim tape and tube and could cause a flat. Been there, done that. My experience is that the next wet ride washes the lubricant away and the clicking returns. For this reason eyelets in rims should be stainless steel as they are in some models. Jobst Brandt |

I have built probably 300-400 wheels in the past 4 years using Velocity rims. I have seen one failure(split rim at spoke hole) and that was warrantied immediately...so My expereince is VERY positive about Velocity rims. Aero, Aerohead,Razor, Escape, Fusion, Deep V, Synergy, Dyad...I have built with them all with great results. Now RBR may be talking about their wheel, which are no better than any out of a box. -eric |

We also moved to Velocity Aerohead/OC after the Campagnolo Montreal was discontinued and our experience is positive. OC especially means we build a better more durable wheel now. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
