Bontrager inconsistent Freewheel clicking
Hello,
I have a set of Bontraget Aeolus 6.5's.
When spinning (not pedaling) the clicking sound they make is inconsistent. Hard to describe exactly, but its from loud to softer, back to loud. The wheel is TRUE....it does not wobble on the sides and does not appear to have any wobble in height when spinning. The exact same inconsistent clicking or some people call it clanking is apparent without a tire on the rim....so it seems as if its just the freehub making an inconsistent noise rather than balance or tire etc.
I have read in another forum where this may actually be somewhat common. The wheel when riding is as said above...TRUE, no wobble, skipping etc.
Any ideas or confirmation of inconsistent freehub clicking being common ?
