My front wheel creaks when I stand or put torque on it.
I read the old thread that is identical but the info there did not help.
The noise is where the nipple meets the carbon rim.
Only nisy when I stand or put torque on the rim.
It's not the skewer, bearings, etc.
The rim is true and the spoke tension is very even.
When I loosen the skewer the noise goes away. Then the wheel can move slightly in the fork.
This takes the torque away from the rim by allowing the axle to shift. Quiet but dangerous.
I've tried truing the wheel with a looser tension and a tighter tension. Neither did anything.
Adding some chain lube to the nipple / carbon area made it quiet for about 50 yds.
Any ideas?
