My new (second hand) wheels are making strange noises.
they are alloy rims with aero carbon fairings on, like older Mavic Cosmic's and some Zipps I believe.
you can hear the carbon creaking over rough ground. I guess this is from the alloy rim flexing and the fairing rubbing on the spokes.
It makes sense, I think. But Is this normal?
