Sorry for the delay, but had some house repairs to do. I dug around in the garage and found some Finish Line, Teflon Fortified Bicycle Lubricant. The stuff sprays on wet but dries to avoid collecting dirt/grit. I sprayed in on the contact point of spokes crossings & took it for a ride. While I thought it (or hoped) it quieted the wheels, it wasn't enough to scream "Eureka". Anyway, continued on my ride, and noted again that the wheels quieted down after several miles. Like Canklecat noted, any time late in the ride when I was mashing gears, riding out of the saddle going up hill, the wheels would start chirping like crickets. But coasting or gentle pedaling, and rarely would I hear anything. So at this point, I am going to put a few more rides/miles on the wheel set. If it continues, I think I'll open up the bearings and check the grease job the LBS did. (And will probably pack it with a good grease while they are opened up.) Thanks for the help and will report back!
