Zipp 303 tubulars repeated ticking

dazzle · 2014-10-23T19:36:10+01:00

Love my new zipp 303 tubular wheels hate the constant rhythmic ticking sound they're making, imagine you had some double sided sticky tape stuck on the sole of your shoe, highly irritating. Been back to my lbs 3 times and it just keeps coming back, they deflate tyres spot a suspected dry patch, re glue it, leave overnight and then few miles into a ride its back with a vengeance and just gets worse. I'm running continental competition tubulars in 22mm size. It's the first time I've used tubulars and wish I'd just stuck with clinchers, anyone else experienced something similar and found a solution?

Sounds more like the spokes
Sounds more like the spokes rather than a tyre, might just have one or two needing nipping up, else they will have a pinging/ticking noise.
