Elitewheels Edge - Creaking Rear - Solution?

[cedriccarron]

Are you absolutely sure it's your wheels? B/c in your video, the clicking sound is perfectly aligned with your pedalstrokes - which usually hints to something going on in either your BB or cranks.

I just made this video, i don’t think it should sound like this?

Have a pair of these https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005004767705476.html and the rear has started creaking after limited use. Rode them a few times earlier on with no noticeable issues and then been mainly riding another bike - with the rubbish weather here.

Rode them again recently and found the noise appeared - maybe they've just bedded in. Subsequently I've definitely isolated the noise to the rear wheel - by elimination I ruled out the seapost area, bottom bracket area or anything on the front of the bike. Proved it today by riding a different rear wheel with zero noise.

Noise happens when in a low gear and torquing - think slowly up a steep hill. No crashes, dropping into potholes or similar.

Suggestion of one of the other bikers I know was to lube the spokes. So I plan to put a small amount of grease where the spokes overlap and touch initially and see how that goes. If that fails then I guess I need to think of where the spokes, nipples and rim meet.

Anyone got any alternate thoughts / suggestions pls?

Edit
Actually I haven't changed the cassette -  so that may be worth doing first or after lubing the cross spokes point?

I had this issue in Rouvy when it was really steep on my Saris H3 trainer. When I switched back to Zwift, I didn't had it anymore. I tightened the Casette checked the hub, etc. Controlled the Bottom bracket and made sure it was the correct torq. Unfortunatly no hills here to test it in person outside. but I got it with Low cadance and high torq. I also have elite wheels that's why I was triggered but I haven't experienced it yet outside.

Do you have this kind of noise as well when you put force on the rear wheel? For example, you press down on the tire or on the side of the rim. I have bought a pair of yuanan wheels which are the same as elitewheels and the rear wheel produces a weired clicking sound as well.
