  1. Ok well every time i would get ready to hop and conpress my tire i would
    hear i creaking/click noise. So i messed around with my kh and noticed
    i could kind off move the spokes so they would make that noise. I was
    wondering is that bad I fix it for now by moving them some but was
    wondering if i should check it at the bike shop?

    was fine.

  4. probably not a spoke to be honest. i have a feeling its your
    cranks...tighten them up.

    is this a 06 or 07? i know the old onza cranks always were kinda
    squeeky unless you really tightened them down ALOT.

  9. Better yet go to the bike shop, buy a spoke key and ask them to show you
    how to properly tighten your spokes so it will stay true, and so next
    time you can do it yourself.

    Wrong. The red park tool is for 14g spokes. They make another one that
    will fit the 13g spokes on the KH. Just ask someone at your LBS for a
    13g park tools spoke wrench.

    +1

    The old KHs used the 14g, for the 07 he swapped to 13g.

    If it's your seat, it may not be a tightness issue--try shooting some
    lube into the seat rails area, and the seatpost/seatcollar as well. If
    that seems to be the problem area, you may want to loosen the seat
    rails, lube them up, and then re-tighten. That fixed my creaks when I
    thought it was the cranks making noise.

  20. just ride until it breaks.... then replace it.... if you check
    everything there nothing wrong so just ride and have fun. I already had
    something like this but I ride and it stopped.
