Creaking Mavic Cosmic Elite skewers
Posted: Wed Aug 04, 2004 10:29 pm
Hi all,
I just thought I would share an experience with my set of Cosmic Elite training wheels. I have had these wheels for just over 12 months now with no real problems encountered, other than replacing the plastic rim strip with a adhesive cloth one. About 6 weeks ago there was a creak in the back end of the bike which was becoming louder and louder only when I was out of the saddle pushing hard. I went through the process of elimination, things such as the BB, seat post clamp, headset. But to no avail. I finally pinpointed the problem to the rear skewer. I had changed over to my race wheels SL's and the creak went away. HMMMM, so I changed my original Elite skewer with my SL skewer and hey presto it is fine now. Just in case any one else out there is experiencing the same problem. I have just bought a new set of SL skewers from the good ol US of A.
cheers
