Mavic Ksyrium Equipe wheels

[Aromig]

I'd love to hear what they tell you about the clicking. I'd always heard the nicer the tire, the louder the clicking. I had my bike stolen early last month, and bought a slight upgrade on Craigslist (same type and year of bike -- one model nicer) and the clicking wheels are driving me nuts, whereas my old bike didn't do it (the wheels were a slight upgrade). Seriously, there are times I want to coast :-)

Aromig, maybe the new-to-you rear wheel needs maintenance? I'm told that it should be done periodically. Any idea how many miles are on the bike and how recently the previous owner did routine maintenance?

If you're mechanically inclined, you might be able to find a video online that shows how to do it.

I'm mechanically inclined enough to change my own chain, tires, etc. but that's about it. When I bought it, the owner said it had 1150 miles on it (which is amazing for a 2013 bike -- when I went to pick it up, he had 6 really nice bikes hanging in his garage so maybe he rotates them, didn't like this one, whatever). I know it had the original white bar tape on it (because I had the same kind, and couldn't easily find a replacement when I wanted), and it looked like new, so I believe that. The bike shop checked it all out and said from what they could tell it looked new, so they believe the mileage too. The bike shop checked most everything, and honestly, on the test ride the clicking didn't bother me but boy did it on the first long ride I did (RAIN - 160 miles). Then again, I'd only had a chance to ride it twice before then for short rides, didn't have the fit dialed in and EVERYTHING was bothering me by mile 100 :-)

I'm going to try to get through September, and then take the bike in for a thorough inspection/tuneup, etc. and probably go ahead and invest in a fitting then too. Something is minusculey off, and I just can't get it myself (actually, the bike shop has my measurements on my old bike, which is the same model/geometry so I'm hoping they'll charge me less and just set it up that way. I tried, but like I said, its just "off" a little somewhere - I think my stem is a tad shorter than my old one -- I didn't have factory stem on my old bike -- and I can't figure it out.)

I was afraid I'd just have to get used to the clicking until I read your post now I'm thinking there might be hope in maintenance!
