creaking/clicking in rear mavic cosmos wheel
gday,
my rear wheel has started making a creaking/clicking sound every revolution.. its a mavic cosmos rim/hub and has done about 7k kms the sound happens when i pedal and when i dont pedal but seems to stop if i get outa the saddle and lean forward putting more weight on the bars.. i took it to the lbs a few weeks back and the guy rekons mavic have some bit of metal which is used in a join, this breaks off and kinda rattles around at low speeds (i get the noise up into the high 20's/ low 30's kph) i thought it was perhaps a dodgy spoke but i looked around a few sites and saw some posts on open pro's doing the same thing but no real resolution.. anyone had / resolved this problem? |

I had the same problem (with the cosmos), from memory oiling the eyelets helped, but it would come back after a few rides. In the end I gave up and bought some new wheels. -- SomeGuy |

It could be the joining pin rattling around. No idea of how to fix it, except to replace the rim or fill it with foam or something I don't think it's the sort of thing you can safely remove - but I don't know for sure. Sheldon would know .. |

(Wheels were quite old and worn up anyway) |
