Maybe I should have searched the forum more for this topic before starting a thread, but the fact that this creaky KH hub problem continues to exist 2.5 years after this thread was started seems worthy of note. It’s kind of surprising that KH hasn’t dealt with this problem by now. I suppose everyone who buys a new uni should first search the forums for each of its components, but that seems like a lot of trouble, especially when the components are in the KH price range. There’s even a post or two on Nurse Ben’s thread suggesting that these creaking hubs will eventually start to slip(!)
