Front wheel creek...
Hello!
I have a set of the Planet X AL30 wheelset, they have been quite good but recently, when i get out of the saddle and put pressure on whilst riding up a hill, I can just hear a big creak from the wheel whilst applying the pressure...?
Your thoughts would be massively appreciated...
Thanks

If it is defo wheel - loose spoke(s)? Is the wheel true?
Or could it be from the headset? Any play or binding in the headset? Strip down, clean up and re-grease anyway is never a bad idea.0 -

Check for any cracks in the rim. I had the exact same problem it turned out to be a small almost hairline crack in the rim. new rim

^^^What Matthew said above, and I wouldn't go tightening up everything and risking stripping out something or distorting a part. If the wheel substitution doesn't tell you the problem, pull things down and clean/grease the head set, use anti-seize on all the threaded parts and tighten to the specified torque settings.Lets just got for a ride, the heck with all this stuff...0
