Subject: Mavic Ksyrium SL Spoke Noise
I have a set of SL's with about 3000 miles on them. Recently, I have
started to hear an intermittent noise that sounds like spoke or rim
noise. It seems to be coming from the front wheel but the spokes are
all tight and, of course, they don't cross. On the rear wheel non-
drive side the spokes move some when flexed by hand and they make a
noise from the nipple/rim junction similar to the one I hear when
standing on the pedals. Has anyone experienced a similar issue with
these wheels?

I've heard it on those wheels (and others as well).
Sometimes a drop of oil at each nipple/rim junction helps. Make sur
to wipe off any excess.
Also, check carefully for any cracks in the rims around the nipples

Evidently not as many problems as you're having with your postings! You'll
find plenty of answers a bit further down in this forum, where your
original, duplicate and close-to-duplicate posts reside. : >)
