Am I wrong? I've got Open Pro/Ultegra wheels on 3 bikes, and had another older set that I sold a while ago. The older set from the late 1990s had the dreaded OP click bad, but none of my newer wheels had it until recently ... I think. Two of my wheel sets are 3 years old with about 10,000 miles on them, and other set is about 5 years old with 15-20,000 miles on them.
I had the rear wheel rebuilt this year on one of the newer sets with a new warranty-replacement rim due to cracking eyelets, and that wheel is fine. However, the other two sets have gotten rather "noisy" over the past few months. It's not as loud as the click in my old wheel set that I got rid of, but still annoying. The noise is definitely coming from the rear wheels because the rhythm picks up and slows down with my speed, and I hear the noise whether I am pedaling or coasting. I have tried oiling the eyelets, but that didn't stop the noise. Both wheels are true and spoke tension seems to be fine.
Any suggestions?
