Mavic CXP 33 Annoying Click, Click...
Mavic CXP 33 rim in fairly new condition, but suddenly a click each
revolution. I've disassembled the wheel & am considering popping out all the basket-style eyelets until I find the cause...but I thought I'd ask first: Common problem? It's maddening because the sound is amplified through the rim & you can't tell where the problem is. Maybe a bit of flux came loose? All baskets look OK. Thanks, Jim |

Thanks, Jim Hi Jim, I built up a pair of wheels about a year ago. The rims were Open Pro Ceramic. They cost $105 a piece. I built the first wheel with no problems. When I started on the second wheel I noticed something clicking when I picked up the rim and shook it a little. After a few minutes of shaking, I heard something slide around about a quarter of the rim. So, I thought, hmmm, maybe I can get this to the valve hole. An hour later I pulled out a piece of welding slag that measured ~20x6x2mm. I lucked out in that I found this before I built the wheel. I was a little ****ed. You'd figure that for $105/rim there would be better quality control. I later had an extended discussion about this problem with the supplier. He is a highly respected wheelbuilder. He told me that rims would likely cost $300/rim to guarantee that there would be no problems like I experienced. I am going to guess that you are experiencing the exact same problem. This is pretty well known with Mavic rims. The lesson that I learned is that I will never build another Mavic without shaking_the_**** out of it before I start building. If there is a rattle, it's going back to the vendor. I was lucky and got my piece 'o slag to the valve hole and got it removed. That's my experience. |

Thanks, Jim Many rims have some bit(s) of metal inside that will click if not removed. When both rim walls close up the spoke holes like CXP-33, OpenPro, A719, etc. it makes it harder to get out. Once the CXP-33 is built, the baskets that hold in the rim hole inserts, are not needed. Removing them would be OK but challenging. It would likely make the removing the metal bit(s) easier. -- daveornee |

Thanks, Jim Some mystery clicks in rear wheels are grit where the spokes cross. They deflect a bit at each revolution and tick there, which you hear amplified through the rim. Floss them out with some light string or cloth before you try anything else too exotic. I have seen wheels where the owner had to keep the crosses lubed to keep them quiet! Jeffrey |

'May' be the thingy that holds the rim together for the completely unnecessary weld. A wee bit of lindseed oil on each nipple where it enters the rim, an OVH of the hub in case you have 'bearing flop', the balls smacking each other for lack of grease(shimano hub?), also check the drive side tension...should be 100 kgf...things I would check. |

Mavic CXP 33 Annoying Click, Click...
I had a set of Mavic Open Pros where the rear wheel was making a clicking
noise that was driving me crazy. I thought it was coming from the hub or the spokes but my LBS took the time to hunt down the cause. They told me it was coming from a device inserted into the rim to hold the rim together for welding at the factory. This insert broke loose and was sliding around the inside of the dual wall rim - harmless except for making the constant clicking. They suggested that I just live with the noise, or if I really wanted to do something about it, I can try to inject silicone through the spoke holes to seal the insert in place and keep it from sliding around. I never got around to doing that before I sold those wheels. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

Ya can either smack the area with a punch or drill a teeny hole and put Fastac in there... ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

I had clicking on an Open Pro rear wheel, the only noisy one of several
that I built. The sound was faint but annoying. Putting a tiny drop of oil (Tri-Flow) in each eyelet around the spoke nipple silenced it. |
