I've got a creaking Ksyrium SL front wheel (about 10,000 miles on it).
Spokes are tight and oiled (a little dab), wheel is true and round. When I
stand out of the saddle, it's creaking like an old rockin' chair. Any
suggestions?

Thanks

grease the skewer and tighten the quick release down more than you are
currently.

Common with this hub. Take it apart, grease under the sealed bearing seals and
grease around the axle, etc...very noisey wheelset.
Also oil where the spokes enter the hub.

Thanks, I did this and still it still creaked like a banshee. We ended up
finding three cracks in the rim, just like my rear wheel did three months
ago. These are 2002 wheels. Probably at least 15,000 miles on them. Peter,
do you think these are still under warrantee? My guess is that they are not.

Thanks,

One year warranty and for the price of a rebuild you could get a hand built
wheel. Rim alone is in the $100 range, Spokes are about $3 per, plus labor.
