  1. I am getting a noise from the wheel.
    It's like a creaking that I can feel and hear.

    I can make the noise with the wheel spinning in the air:
    It's not the spokes.

    I just replaced the bearings with brand new ones.
    It's not the bearings.

    There is no pressure on the cranks.
    I doubt it's the cranks.

    The noise happens with or without pedals.
    It's not the pedals.

    That leaves:
    The hub.
    The relationship between the bearings and the frame.

    Does anyone else have this problem?
    Can the hub make noise by spinning and simply supporting the weight of
    the wheel?

  3. try tightning the bearing mounts cause i had sort of the same problem
    and i just tightened them and the problem went away so that could be
    your only problem

  6. o and maybe it is the spokes cuz when you sit donw its putin weight on
    the spokes maken them bend/move around a little.When you have the uni in
    hte air there is no weight on the spokes maken them do that.

    Profile.
    Some noise may be coming from the seat (but I happened to change that
    yesterday also). At least during today's ride it wasn't so annoying.

  9. Could the lips of the bearing holders be rubbing on the Profile spacer
    washers? Maybe one of the washers has a little nub that's sticking out
    and hitting part of the bearing holder every revolution.

    Are you using the big conical shaped saucer spacer from Profile? That
    spacer can have some clearance problems with some frames and it could be
    rubbing on the frame. You can get additional small spacer washers from
    Profile so you don't have to use that big spacer thing.

    This has happened on 2 of my profile wheels. Both times it went away
    quickly, but then cam back when I rotated the cranks, possibly because
    the spacers moved too.
