I've now swapped the wheel and the noise is gone. However I need this new wheel on my other bike.
So I assume the noise is the cartridge bearings which still appear to be really smooth or the spokes. Is there any easy way to tell?
I assume to identify the bearings in this unbranded hub I need to bash them out which will trash them. When I removed the bearings from my On-One fixed hub I had to poor boiling water on the hub shell around the bearings before wacking the axle bloody hard. I thought the hub was going to break, is this normal? I dread trying to remove these.
If the spokes what would you folks advise given the fact the tension seems OK.
Cheers all.
