• Clicking noise from my bike: took me absolutely ages to finally track down the source!

    There’s a little rectangle of metal in the rim - it looks like it used to be where the join of the rim is but now is free to slide round. I know nothing about wheels so havnt a clue how vital this is to it’s integrity.

    Fiery death?

  • Fiery death?

    As always, most probably

  • This happened in a HED Belgium Plus I have and wound me up no end. I think it’s essentially a piece of metal that’s used to hold everything in place when they’re joining the rim. You’ll find advice online that suggests you can secure it in place using a punch on the rim join but I had great success with a tiny bit of superglue (carefully) in the spoke hole to stick it in place out of the way of the nipple/hole
