Shimano WH 6800 Rear wheel creaking
Hi, advice please, I have Shimano 6800 wheelset, about 4-5 months old, and the rear wheel has started to creak when under load, at first I thought it was my BB30 bottom bracket and got that checked and re-greased, still the noise appeared, I put my old RS11 rear wheel back on and the noise has gone, there dosen't seem to be any play in the bearings and they run smoothly any suggestions?

And because they are so likely to flip and are heavier they have to have stronger and wider A pillars which reduces visibility.

"perhaps unavoidable", as gently easing off on the accelerator pedal for 2 seconds would obviously be out of the question.

My bike developed a creak under load a while back, after checking everything, turned out to be the cassette.
What did you do to solve it, thanks
Had a similar problem on my RS81 shimano front wheel. All the spokes were under even tension so dropped a spot of lube on each spoke nipple and also the oiled the skewer. I think it was probably actually the skewer it had been off the bike and I'd had no issues the day before.
More than likely its just the spokes needing to be re-tensioned
grab a couple of spokes where they cross over and give a squeeze
If theres quite a bit of movement then the spokes needs tensioning
A good local bike shop should be able to do this for no more than £20
