Have you trued your wheels recently and are one or some of your spokes twisted towards the nipple head?Means not sitting in the correct direction to the wind with the sharp edges ? _________________ Kuota Kom Evo viewtopic.php?f=10&t=111825&p=955235#p955235" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Last edited by bura on Fri May 11, 2012 9:37 am, edited 1 time in total.
