Try removing the freewheel, cleaning it up and regreasing the pawls? This worked in my 3.30 hub.

Yes, my 26er anthem (crest rims on a DTSwiss 350 hub) creaks like crazy on every pedal stroke harder than "just keeping the wheels turning" unless I do the QR up tightly enough. You could also try greasing the dropouts and/or QR. The actual creak actually sounded like it was coming from just behind the bottom bracket somewhere but with the QR tight, nothing.

tapping/ knocking noise

Mine could almost be described as that too, but more of a creak mostly.

Cheers.

Never had an issue with my golds justs stick to the recommended spoke tensions
Have seen a fair few other stans rim with a loose bit. Ratting in side them , mostly hope hoops but not always
But not seen that this year

Hopfuly theanswer is in the hub

Or try putting a little lube round the spoke nipples

Mine doesn't have a creak but has developed a tapping/ knocking noise.

I've recently had the rims and spokes replaced on these as I was fed up with having to true the wheel every time I went out on them.

Was going to strip the hub down tonight to try and figure it all out. Good luck finding your creak

Anyone else have these wheels and/or experience the rear wheel creaking a lot? I thought it might have been due to loose spokes but I got the spokes tightened and there is still lots of creaking coming from it. Common problem??
