Durace Ace 7850 wheels clicking

I have a pair of dura ace 7850 wheels.

I have done about 1500 miles on them and the front one is now making some weird clicking sounds from the hub. It sounds like a kind of clicking/clunking sound.

I asked a good cyclist about it and he said I may have some grit or something in there.

Is there anything I can do to stop this sound?

Thanks

    i have the same noise, starts clicking, then gets louder

    if i take the wheel out n put it back in its ok for another 50 to 100 miles or so, stripped the hub down several times n cleaned n regreased, everything looked ok, changed the skewer and it still does it

    pissing me right off it is

    Mine do it when out of the saddle, also when i am simply pushing the bike along out of the house. If i simply spin the front wheel slowly by hand, it makes the clicking sound, kind of like a bearing is slipping back into place.

    Mine used to click but then progressed to a creak! Sound bloody awful.
    They have been back to shop and rebuilt but exactly the same. Now back at shimano and if they are still the same someone is going to get these crap wheels wrapped around their head TdF stylee!
    Wish I had never seen the bloody things.

    For £500 I wouldn't expect this clicking sound. I may follow you on the route by sending them back to shimano to fix/replace.

    Too right mate. I would not put up with it on a pair of £100 wheels never mind £500! Mine stated clicking on the front and then progressed to a creak on the front and then creaking both ends. During a ride it starts off not too bad and then gets worse and worse.

    I have been fannying around sending wheels back and forth for a month and have already told the shop i will only accept a replacement, which I will promptly flog along with all the ultegra rubbish and get SRAM or campag. Bloody shimano its crap. :evil:
