As thread title.

Pair of Kinesis v3 cross lights on the Diverge – been on there approx 18mths and done about 2500 miles according to Garmin data.

Recently had a creaking noise on bike – thought BB, so new one fitted. Nope, not that!
Greased pedal threads, everything that I thought it could be – including the rear dropout (had that on my 5 that creaked!!)
Tightened and double ochecked everything else – bars, stem etc.

Took wheel apart to check bearings – they spin nice and smooth. Pawls look ok but a bit of surface corrosion on them, but didn’t think much of that as an issue.

Out on a 100k this am and started getting progressively noiser – only happens when peddling, so think it could be free hub related??

Anyone else had any issues with theirs?

My main problem is my massive Griepel like power house 66kgs being too much for their glass sorry alloy nipples. Had about 5 go on the front when I’ve been out the saddle busting out moar power.

Have you inspected your nipples?

Nah – I haven’t checked out my nips yet! Although – could be worth it. Was dubious about the longevity of them given the reviews before I bought the wheels!
