Creaking Ksyrium front wheel
I've got a creaking Ksyrium SL front wheel (about 10,000 miles on it).
Spokes are tight and oiled (a little dab), wheel is true and round. When I stand out of the saddle, it's creaking like an old rockin' chair. Any suggestions? Thanks

dan- When I
stand out of the saddle, it's creaking like an old rockin' chair. Any suggestions? BRBR Common with this hub. Take it apart, grease under the sealed bearing seals and grease around the axle, etc...very noisey wheelset. Also oil where the spokes enter the hub.

Thanks, I did this and still it still creaked like a banshee. We ended up
finding three cracks in the rim, just like my rear wheel did three months ago. These are 2002 wheels. Probably at least 15,000 miles on them. Peter, do you think these are still under warrantee? My guess is that they are not. Thanks, Dan Hertlein "Qui si parla Campagnolo " wrote in message ... dan- When I stand out of the saddle, it's creaking like an old rockin' chair. Any suggestions?

Rim alone is in the $100 range, Spokes are about $3 per, plus labor.
