creaking/clicking in rear mavic cosmos wheel

gday,
my rear wheel has started making a creaking/clicking sound every
revolution..
its a mavic cosmos rim/hub and has done about 7k kms
the sound happens when i pedal and when i dont pedal but seems to stop
if i get outa the saddle and lean forward putting more weight on the
bars..

i took it to the lbs a few weeks back and the guy rekons mavic have
some bit of metal which is used in a join, this breaks off and kinda
rattles around at low speeds (i get the noise up into the high 20's/
low 30's kph)

i thought it was perhaps a dodgy spoke but i looked around a few sites
and saw some posts on open pro's doing the same thing but no real
resolution..

anyone had / resolved this problem?

I had the same problem (with the cosmos), from memory oiling the
eyelets helped, but it would come back after a few rides. In the end I
gave up and bought some new wheels.

It could be the joining pin rattling around. No idea of how to fix
it, except to replace the rim or fill it with foam or something I
don't think it's the sort of thing you can safely remove - but I don't
know for sure. Sheldon would know ..

Ditto. I ended up replacing my Cosmos because this noise was driving
me nuts! (Wheels were quite old and worn up anyway)
