I have asked about this a lot of times now. Now I have finally found something that I think is anti-seize. It is some kind of cupper-paste that they use for motorbike brakes and stuff. But still I get the same or a new sound. For those of you that are good with these sound I have added a link to the sound here.
Try fiddling with the largest diameter spacer, flip it around etc and see if that makes a difference. Can you feel anything when you ride? Have you ever ridden through the wet or submersed the uni?
It seems to me that it is not the pedals, and the crancks seems to sit tight.
I have not ridden in water so that the bearings or the crancks touched the water, but I have ridden in wet mud, and it could have splashed something in there, but not much. I have also ridden in snow, could this be the problem. Is there a way to check if this is the problem
Sounds like my muni only worse. Until recently I had rather loose spokes on my muni and that was what was making a similar noise. Even if the spokes aren’t loose maybe you could try putting a little grease or something between the spokes where they cross over? Or just spray that area with WD-40 (or the American equivalent - it’s spray on lubricant).
That creaking sounds seems like loose spokes to me too. Go around the wheel squeezing pairs of spokes in one hand. Are there any that are a little unusual? The sound is made when the contact patch unloads the tension in the loose spoke and it rubs in the rim.
Is the crunching sound coming from stuff you are running over, or are you isolating the sound from the bearings? If it’s the bearings they’re gonners.
the crunching noise sounds like you are just running over stuff, so I wont include that. but the creaking sounds like you have loose spokes. VERY loose spokes. get those things tightened up somehow, or you risk bending your rim. HURRY!! before its too late!!! A KH24 is far too nice a uni to ruin so fast!!
Thanks for the tip. Actually it is the American equivalent.
Because, as the WD-40 Company (formerly the Rocket Chemical Company of San Diego) explains:
WD-40 literally stands for Water Displacement, 40th attempt. That’s the name straight out of the lab book used by the chemist who developed WD-40 back in 1953. The chemist, Norm Larsen, was attempting to concoct a formula to prevent corrosion — a task which is done by displacing water. Norm’s persistence paid off when he perfected the formula on his 40th try.
That would be San Diego, California in North America… the United States. Not trying to give you a hard time, just one of the few anicdotal stories I remember from college chemistry classes.
Turn the disc spacer the other way around, it is assembled incorrectly. That is the first thing I would do and I will take a bet it will fix it. (some of them came from the factory fitted like this).
