Hi Slowtwitchers,
I have a quite annoying problem with my Zipp 808 rear wheel/hub: 2-3min into every ride and only upwards of 250 watts the hub begins to make a creaktin noise that almost drives me mad! I have already tries the following fixes to no avail:
1. Using different cassettes, so it's not the cassette.
2. Removing, cleaning and remounting the cassette body as well as the - for lack of a better term (I am German) - "teeth" of the cassette body.
3. Removing, cleaning and reinstalling the axle.
I have noticed that the cassette body has just a little wear where the 5 cog "sits" on it.
I suspect there are two probeble causes for the sount:
1. The bearings
2. The cassette body itself.
My first approach was to replace both the cassette body and the bearings but the German Zipp distributor is not able to supply the cassetty body.
I now wonder what to do.
p.s. I bought the wheel in spring 2009 so it's possible to deal with the problem as a warranty case.
