I need help from anyone with this wheelset. Heres the story. I am getting this annoying and loud clicking sound from the front wheel when I am hammering up a hill out of the saddle while on the hoods or the drops. About 2 months ago I had the same problem, took the wheel back to Supergo and they exchanged it for me no questions asked. All was fine until yesterday when it started happening again. Is this normal from this set? You would think that is you pay so much for wheels they will be flawless. Anyone w/ any info to rectify this problem please let me know. Thanks!

Make sure the hub is tight. Grab the fork, and the top of the wheel, and see if it will rattle back and forth at all. If it does, there is a little ring on each side of the hub, that you can tighten by hand. At least this is the case on my '03 Ksyriums..

Grease the ends of your front fork. Use a heavy type grease and get both the inner and outer faces of the fork tabs.

It is the quick release. Tighten it down more and it will go away. If not, get a new quick release.
This is something that has been characteristic since the SSC SL came out.

Long shot, but if it keeps occuring it might be your cycloputer magnet hitting the sensor when you stress your fork
