Dam that vegimite.

I've got Mavic Open Pros, Coda Competition hubs (with the spokes lapped only on the drive side) and an HG 9 speed cassette that has about just under three thousand miles on it.

Two rides ago a consistant squeek started under heavy load. While ascending the steepest hill on my workout the noise really got worse and when I took the bike out yesterday it is now consistant under all load conditions.

I suspected a loose cassette, broken axel, or a misadjusted derailler which I checked out upon getting home and cannot find.

The wheel seems to have a bit more lateral slop at the rim then I remember having in the past so I suspect it may be loosened spokes although the wheel is still dead nuts true. The spokes have never been touched sinced I've owned the wheels.

With the three day weekend upon us (for those of you not States side this is Labor Day weekend, a holiday that no one under seventy knows the reason for but no one complains) I have a couple rides planned and a day in the shop will cause me pain.

Is this possible a quick fix?

Any comments?
