Volkov Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Hello! New rider here, just got a KS 16X. In the past week, I've covered around 300km and overall, I'm quite satisfied with the wheel. However, since yesterday, I've noticed a peculiar knocking sensation in the right pedal during deceleration. The noise is prominent only when braking more forcefully; lighter braking seems fine. I tried reversing the wheel, and the issue shifted to the left side, making me suspect a potential pedal problem. I attempted to reproduce the noise by twisting and applying pressure to the pedal while the wheel was off, but without success. The wheel hasn't been exposed to adverse weather conditions, and aside from a few light tumbles (my girlfriend is also learning to ride), there's no obvious damage. Seeking opinions on this issue – any insights or suggestions? Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mono Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Sounds like it may be the valve hitting the shell which deforms under the braking forces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robse Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 There is a little play/blur in the pedals versus hangers. On mine, i sometimes hear/feel a single "clunk" like this when I accelerate or brake hard. Dismantling and inspecting the pedals and rods did not change anything - and after +5000 km it disappeared by itself. Maybe my pedals will fall off soon... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
