noise from front wheel.
Ive just put new tyres on the bike, and went out today and noticed a creaking from the front.
Im pretty sure its the front wheel. Did a bit of research and it sounds like spoke rub? where the spokes rub where they cross over....
Anyway here are some facts.
1- Only happened after taking the wheel off and replacing tyres, im sure this is a weird coincidence but thought id better include it.
2- The wheel spins perfectly smoothly when the bike is lifted.
3- The noise occurs when i'm riding, the noise is pretty constant although there is no pattern to it.
4- The wheel is Maddux R3.0
5- When i squeeze a pair of spokes together (where they cross over) they do move and make the creaking noise - but then again this happens on the back wheel which does not make the noise when riding.
I would appreciate any help here. how to test, how to fix etc??
Cheers
