  1. when i rotate my tire, it goes "cerink cerink"
    and the noise is coming from either the bearings, or the hub
    this happened after a hell hard Muni ride, and my uni is a Qu-ax 24"
    i am distressed, what is it, and is it bad?😕

  2. It's probably the splines of your hub needing to be greased.

    If you search there are some very helpful threads telling you exactly
    how to do this, it's normally fairly simple.

  3. You know, if your pedals have reflectors on them, those get loose very
    easily click around, i thought it was my hub or cranks doing it but
    then relised it was just my reflectors =p

  4. Take everything in the hub apart, lube everything up thats needs lubing,
    and put everything back together. Make sure you:

    Anti sieze the splines on your hub.
    Grease your pedal threads.
    Properly tighten bearing clamps (wheel should spin by hand for at least
    20 seconds)
    Get your cranks on real tight by lubing the bolts

  6. Tighten your spokes and re-true your wheel. After you do that, spray
    the intersections of the spokes with WD-40.
