Renn Disk Wheel Question
I have a Renn rear disk wheel and it is three years old. I notice at
speed, plus 35 kls/hr, it makes a weird sound? I get the impression that it is swivelling or a bit loose? Is this a bearing or axle problem, my imagination and can it be fixed? Sincerely Colin Campbell |

I've never used them but watched the Tour of Spain time trial last year and was quite surprised by the level of plasticky whirring noise everyone's bike seemed to be making. It may just be normal for a disk wheel. |

As I was passing one of the time trialists I was shocked by the loud noises coming from the disk wheels. (No I wasn't that fast - it was a NCNCF road race and a small club TT in the same area.) |
