wheel creaking under load up a monocline
Hi,
This is where the new problem starts. My rear wheel starts creaking in 25 tooth gear under my 92 kg frame and 20 kg lpayload(it is not just my lunch in the backpack although I must admit I love my food) What could it be? Is it that I have the wrong force applied on the cassette on installation? It only happens on the 25 tooth under load up a climb. It occurs in and out of saddle. Any ideas??? I need to ride up this hill every day to go home to my wife an family. I do not want to destroy 3 wheels in 2 months! Here is the background that has lead to me wanting help. I had an old set of mavic open cd 4 which had rear wheel problems. I had it rebuild in the last 6 months after a few seperate incidents of broken spokes on the drive side. So I went to local bike shop after last major break which cost me $75 just to get it one new spoke and the wheel trued (The same bike shop quoted me $80 for a complete rebuild of wheel with new spokes and nipples???). So I have bite the bullet and bought a new wheelset. I now have a 9 speed Mavic Aksium rear being used on an old down tube 8 speed shifters on friction. I have an old Ultegra 600 rear derauiller. The wheelset, 13-25 9 speed cassette and chain kit, Michelin tyres and tubes cost me only $480 with postage from the UK! On installation of new cassette and chain, the new chain caught on the old Ultegra front deraullier and snapped "clean off" [al la Clint Eastwood]. I now have an old Suntour GPX front deraullier which the above bike shop sold to me for $20 after a little adjustment after installation [good service guys!!!]. It works great now (no rubbing now when on the small ring when in 25 tooth on the rear!!!). So now my chain is clean and working, gears are working but now I go on my first ride from Penrith to Glenbrook. The Lapstone Monocline is unforgiving climb from the Lapstone turnoff to the local primary school. This is where the creaking started noticeably (I was in denial before then, it has been there all the time I have had the wheelset going just hoping it was going to go away) |

Try a little grease onto the freehub body and make sure the big spacer
supplied with those wheels is on first and the cogset is TIGHT!! Aussie wrote: Hi, This is where the new problem starts.

You might try greasing the stem, the handlebar/stem interface, and the seat rails. -- Ted Bennett |

The ends of the seat rails are the most usual culprit for me - they usually start up after a ride in the wet, thanks to spray from the back wheel. A drop of lube fixes it. -- Home page: http://members.westnet.com.au/mvw |

Yes, unless it's happening while standing I re-lube in this order: 1. Seat rail ends. 2. Seat rail to seatpost clamp. 3. Seatpost. I've never had stem/steerer or stem/handlebar creaks.
