Mavic OpenPro clicking noise

wrote:

My experience is that the next wet ride washes the lubricant away and
the clicking returns.

That's exactly what happens on my problem-child-OpenPro. It will even
start clicking after riding through the fog in an early morning ride.

Do like I did and put those wheels on a Cannondale. All of the
clicks just blend together -- like riding through a field of
crickets. -- Jay Beattie.

Hi

My problem is that my OP rims is clicking, afther a year or so, and the
warranty is therefore gone :-(
snip

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.

Okay, now I'm going to have to ask a question about the mixed reviews
I've been getting about Velocity's. 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.

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.

The Velocity site is short on details. Their "razor" looks like
the kind of rim that suits me with box construction and silver
finish. Does the razor have double eyelets? What is the precise
nature of the finish? (for me, none is best). What is the width?
(23-28 mm tires).
Thanks.

I like my Torelli Masters, but they are not made anymore.
Ambrosios are not available in the USA.

Single eyelet, similar finish to a silver Open Pro, 22mm width. Any
tire that the frame can handle.


Thanks.

http://velocityusa.com/rim-diagrams.php gives dimension details. It
would be nice to have the inner flange width though. I did contact them
in the past and found out that

- Deep V 13.2 mm
- Aerohead 14.0 mm
- Aero 13.35 mm

For comparison old MA2s have 13.5 inside dimension, and Open Pro has
14.5! This surprised me, and indicates that an Open Pro can take a
bigger tire best.
