Default Creaky Wheelset


Hello everyone,

I just got a KH wheelset for my Yuni frame. The first couple of
days it was great! But all of a sudden, it has started to creak A LOT,
my uni still works fine but the creaking gets annoying. I think it might
be the spokes, but I was wondering if any of you know how to stop the
creaking.

I thought the same thing and it ended up being the cranks.

We'll bring the anti-seize tomorrow and see if that helps.

My son Owen has a KH wheelset (20"). He started getting some creaks
after about the few half dozen rides. Turned out to be the spokes, so we
went through and tuned in up and it's been solid ever since. Take home
lesson is that even the strongest wheelsets need to be tuned up after
they are first ridden.
