I recently purchased a Cannondale Cyclocross in February, which had Gipiemme T-Tre30 S wheels. After about two hundred miles, the rear wheel is starting to make clicking sounds from the spokes. I park it in my office after a ride and it will click from the spokes, while standing still. Is this normal, and is there any way of correcting the problem? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi: I have two sets of Gipiemme road wheels.Neather make noise. I would take it to the shop and get them trued. If that does not do it, your dealer should replace them.

My wife's new bike has Gipiemme wheels. Not knowing anything about them I did some research as the spokes on them kept coming loose.

They are pretty good wheels, but they do need to be serviced after about 200mph. Seems when they are built the nipples are not sealed with locktite so they will work themselves loose. (At least that's what the service rep told me)
