What produces this noise?

I had precisely this yesterday. It was a single loose spoke chafing at
the crossing point with the adjacent spoke, and the noise came and went
depending on whether I was pedalling hard or leaning to one side.

How one spoke came loose but the wheel stayed true, I'll never know.

Grendel did it. Call Beowulf for help.

Hi!

Problem solved; It was either the removable derailer hanger, that was taken
off and put back with a nice layer of grease or it were the Ksyrium spokes
that were treated with vaseline spray.

Greets and thanks! Derk

When riding my new bike, I hear a sound as if you hit a spoke
gently with another spoke that you hold in your hands. I only hear
it when accelerating or when I'm out of the saddle sprinting.

I would say it's either the chain or the D-A 9S bottom bracket.

Does anyone recognize this sound?

The rest of the spokes aren't tight either or the natural trueness of
a new rim would have been lost. You've got an extremely loose wheel.

Can't we just try pedaling instead of pedallling?

Can't be as bad as suckling a wheel! ;-)

From previous post:

The reason for
this is that suckling a wheel does not increase spoke tension
significantly so hubs have no excuse to break.

Did he say hub failure is to be expected? If so, don't buy these
wheels. Wheels components are not supposed to break other than to
collapse a rim if the wheel experiences great side loads. Other than
that, wheel parts should not break even in a crash. The reason for
this is that suckling a wheel does not increase spoke tension
significantly so hubs have no excuse to break.

So Jobst, are you a rim distributer, that is why you suggest people use your
method to build wheels? Do you suckle wheels? Is this at the huh or the
rim? I prefer the blessing the crossings tecknique, less mess. Wheel
components are not supposed to buckle a wheel, only gross overload may
buckle a wheel. Wheel components buckling a wheel is a sign of poor build.
It is build error that buckles the wheel not the components.

Yes, I know - I've made a few posts about mystery noises myself!

Just thought it would be cool to be able to post audio of the sound, so
as to actually be able to hear it.
