....what do I do now?
The lockring (Campy Chorus 10 13/29 cassette) is torqued to spec. I
removed, cleaned, greased and replaced the cassette. Checked that the
freehub nut was tight, removed it anyway, checked bearings in freehub,
turn as if nicely lubed. Lubed threads on freehub nut, re-installed
tight. Like buttah, no play. Hub axle also turns like buttah, no
play.
A while ago, I was sure it was the spokes so I applied my tensiometer
to the spokes but they were all well within 10% of the mean tension. I
took the opportunity to true the wheels (minor tweak) but that did
nothing. I also lubed the spoke sockets (CXP-33's) to no avail.
So I would go out and ride it to see if I took care of it, but it is
raining here. Managed to beat the rain this morning but no dice now.
If the above-recited attempts don't solve the creak, where would you
go next?
Cassette has minimal wear, as far as I can tell (but I did get it on
ebay). Loose rivets on the cogs with carriers? It was a cyclical
thing but lately it has been every pedal stroke mostly when standing.
QR, perhaps?
Help! it's driving me nuts!
