cable housing rubbing?
bad bar/stem interface?
cracked headtube?
Try to narrow it down by close inspection, and try to eliminate one by one and see if the noise is still there. Take apart, clean and lube and reassemble everything, especially repack the headset with fresh grease after a good cleaning, unless it's shot - in that case: get a new one.
Could be other things as well... |

Apr 9, 2002 4:04 AM | | Well, what type off fork? Might be the stanchions creaking in the crown, I've seen Marzocchi and Sids do this. If you take the wheel out and flex the fork legs vigorously to and fro and If you hear creaking, it would most probably be the stanchion-crown. If no noise try the head-set. |
