Hey, folks, sorry if thie one has been covered.
Â
I have a pair of Mavic Kysrium SL's on a Graneau Pro Sonix SL carbon frame that has SRAM red/rival on it. The wheels are a couple of seasons old, but are not over-mileaged per se. In the race this past weekend, I had a couple of really fast descents (80+ km/h) and things were dandy. Then was on a descent were the speeds reached just over 70 km/h, and then all of sudden I got this unbelievable squealing noise. The only thing I can compare it to is really poorly adjusted breaks hitting the rims...but I was FREEWHEELING and not braking.
Â
I had to pull of the road as I though the bearings or freehub body was going to seize, and this problem continued to occur as I ride the remaining 50 km in..solo.
Â
I took the bike into my local pro shop:
Â
1) The checked the wheels, and serviced the free hub, but didn't find anything per se.
2) I have a newer pair of these wheels that I have swappped out to see if it is something else on the bike causing the issue.
Â
I am now beginning to thing that maybe the freehub isjust gone, as the wheels roll smoothly and there is no lateral play...
Â
ANyone have any ideas/insights?
Â
Cheers
