My new wheelset,Vision T24 (for PX,they have 24/24 and are 1550g) are making some creak noise.
I suspect the front wheel,I'm sure that the front is making that noise as with other front wheel the bike is fine.
But my LBS told me that the front wheel is fine,but creak is continued on each ride,most noticable is while sprinting or climbing out of saddle.

Is some spoke's fault or?

    Sounds more like hub problem...

    Can it be fixed at home or at LBS,or I need to send back front wheel to PX?

    Most likely it can, front hubs are simple creatures... the question is whether you know how to...

    What exactly is the problem in the hub that makes noise?

    Worn bearing, loose preload (if any), cracked axle... could be many things... worth disassembling

    The wheel is quite new,bearings are spinning fine and everything is tight. But I still hear that sound.

    I vote for brake rub since sprinting and out of the saddle climbing will cause the most lateral flex.
