Hi,

Bought these wheels second hand last September, everything was fine till now.
About 2 weeks ago I noticed strange sound coming out from front wheels.
This happens when I'm powering on the climb out of the saddle (moving handlebar left-right, left-right).
My first guess was the bearings got loose but today I want to my LBS and one guy said
that the cracking sound coming out from the place where spoke is melted in hub.
Does anyone here experienced same problem?

Thanks for any help, Seb

Hi Seb,
I would start by removing the axle and hub bearings, then grease or anti-seize the surfaces in contact with the hub shell and axle. Sometimes a micro amount of movement between these parts can make a crack or creak noise. This would be the most likely scenario in your case. I would be really surprised if it were the carbon hub shell/spoke interface.

give it a shot with the bearings and let us know!

Grease the quick release boltthreads as well. Very common noise source.
