Put a WTD add in the wrong Section – so better make use of this one!

Ok so ive got a set of Crossmax SX' on the bike, rear one makes a pinging sound quite alot of the time, have tried tensioning them and de tensioning them with little progress.

Anyone any ideas?!

Pop a bit of chain lube on the spokes where they cross

I had some Ksyriums that did this, small drop of 3 in 1 oil on every nipple and also where the spokes locate in the hub and bingo, no more pinging.

yeah have been doing that, was fine in the summer but now its just a pain in the hoop when it gets washed of every ride.

Having ridden Kysriums for years and many thousands of miles on the road, pinging is a sign of spokes going (always exciting as they shoot of like arrows when under high tension on a road bike). I'd lube the nipples and get a alloy Mavic spoke key to sort them. This usually works for me and I've bust a few on my road bikes, although a lot less than some other wheel types!
