I‘ve been riding
D50CU-31 T1100 rims 20/20H UD matt
Black colour in-house hubs 20/20H 54T sprockets TPI ceramic bearings centre lock straight pull for 100*12/142*12 with Shimano HG Driver
5.0mm carbon spokes
since mid/end of June.
Now they're starting to make noises. A quiet creaking noise when I pedal. After checking the crank and bottom bracket twice, and two different chains and cassettes, I've ruled out the Shimano drivetrain. Today I fitted a different rear wheel and I couldn't hear it anymore. I've taken the freehub off the rear wheel and, when cleaning the components, I noticed metal shavings. It was on my cleaning Paper and Fingers. You can also see wear on the pinion gears. I haven't disassembled the freehub any further as I don't have any tools at hand.
I'm surprised to notice this after such a short time. I wrote to XmCarbonspeed Right now. I am excited how they react.
