  1. Hey, I have a 2006 Qu-ax Cross 1500. And lately when im riding it makes
    a noise. So say im jjust riding and then I start hopping and as soon
    as i do a hop it makes a noise for the first 2 hops and then it stops.
    I dont know what it is?

    Does it matter?

    Thanks

    Could be your bearing houses that are to tight or to loose.

  6. I had a "loose coin hitting metal" noise with my cross. If it is the
    same noise, check between then cranks and the frame. there should be a
    little red spacer on each side of the frame. They are fairly loose, and
    make a bit of a rattling sound sometimes. I phoned my retailer, and he
    said they serve no purpose. I removed them at his recommedation. no
    more noise.

  7. well

    first off i would

    check the bearing clamps that theyre tight enough, but not too tight
    and definatly not loose. - this happened to me the other day and my
    frame wobbled all over the place as i rode.

    regrease the spline interface betwneet the cranks and hub, and tighten
    back up.

    make sure its not the pedals.

    then i dunno.

    when i ride i get a ticking noise from what seems to be my uni, but its
    the end of my shoelace where the hard plastic bit is on it to stop it
    fraying, hitting against the crank and making a metallic ticking sound.

  10. Yeah its probably your spokes because when my spokes were loose they
    would click the first couple of hops or pedals. So I had my lbs guy
    tighten my spokes and he did it for free because he loves me since I
    bought so much stuff through him.

    I would go back and put some better lube on it.

    WD-40 is good for displacing grease and stuff, but you really should
    use anti-seize or something along those lines.

  18. picado, anti-sieze is a type of grease.

    Incidently i wud deff get some anti-sieze, WD-40 is not a lubricant.
