Yeah, but the wheels were snide original ones that came with the bike, decided on a wee upgrade. Probably wouldn't actually be worth buying and having new bearings fitted on the ones that were on it. Rims had seen better days also0 -

Bearings are a few pounds, then you might have some spare wheels0 -
If something's creaks check or replace the QR.http://www.thecycleclinic.co.uk -wheel building and other stuff.0

Stop guessing. Everyone above is using the scattergun approach. you start with the QR's and close them tightly, my kind of tight. Try a new one that's easy. 90% if creaks are fixed this way then you move onto other things if it persists. what it won't be us the wheel bearings. That's is unlikely.

Yeah but would need someone to fit them and also the rims were pretty shot. Bought a pair of Khasims off someone who had took them off their new bike for £65 so can't complain at that0
