I have a new bike, Orbea Orca with Dura Ace 10 speed, am Rolf Prima Elan aero wheels. On some mountain climbs two days ago I had an annoying creaking, seemingly from the left crank/bottom bracket area when in the larger cogs and when I was bearing down hard on the cranks.
My LBS checked the bottom bracket tightness and said all seemed fine, but they suggested the creaking was from cross spokes rubbing from wheel flex during harder climbing efforts (even though my ears were telling me it was coming from the BB). They put some drops of lube on meeting spots of the cross spokes.
I have not had the opportunity to tyr to duplicate the effort yet to see if they were correct. Anyone have any history with these wheels or this issue?
