Hi good people, I have a T5G with Ultegra... Sweet Bike.. Q: Does anybody have creaking noise in rear casscassette cluster....I got bike from bikebling.com ...thoughts?

SunDog, you might want to look into magnesium supplements. Often that's all that is necessary to get an irregular heartbeat back on track. Best wishes for you!
JRalpe - I've got ~2000 mixed surface miles on mine, and only time I had any noise from the back was when the thru axle hub on my Stan's Grails came loose. Quick stop to tighten it up and no more issues. Never any issues with the other wheelset.

Thanks. I've been taking Chelated Mg for several months now. Didn't do the trick for me. Keeps me regular, though.
I had an ablation for the a-flutter several weeks ago. It's gone now.
I still have a niggling rythym issue that I am dealing with. Wearing a Heart monitor for two weeks to see what kind of arrythmia it actually is.
Thanks TripperTim .....I found out that the new ultegra & dura ace gruppos have some quirk if the cassette body becomes the least bit dry/slightly oily. The cassette body performs best with a slathering, yes slathering of waterproof grease. It worked, the creaking stopped. I experimented with the quick release, but alas to no avail in solving the creaking. I guess be careful after a real hardcore bike cleaning that the cassette remains properly lubed...No Bigee....The bike rides great here in Seattle, I ride the gravel, broken road & regular wet all the time stuff out here without incident....Reccomendation: Use Sector 28 Hutchinson Tires for winter & hard pack gravel "Tubeless"... It rides nice & will not flat like the Challenge gravel grinders....Albeit Challenge Tires Ride Like No Other......Truly Sublime....Hey it is Winter.
\nBest.....JR
Viaggio wrote:Hello, heard people say there are rack mounts on this frame, I see holes down by the seat stays facing an unusual direction, nothing up high on the seat stays so how do you mount a rack. Litespeed says a 50mm offset on the fork, why not go standard 45 and change head tube angle, also 430mm chain stays is pretty short. Just wondering your thoughts on these issues and how the bike handle's in rough terrain. The short stays could be problematic with panniers, light load of course. Did litespeed consider someone using light panniers by stiffening the stays, otherwise bike will feel like a noodle. Any comments welcome and thank you.
