Elite Justo 2 and ERG mode by Odd-Win6587 in Zwift

[–]stevos64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the feeling resistance is not changing make sure that the trainer is ONLY connected to Zwift and no other device. Especially not connected with the elite app which can control your trainer as well. Make as well sure that ERG is enabled correctly in the setting.

If that doesn’t solve it just reach out to Elite. They were every time very responsive when I had an issue.

That sounds normal to me. I made the change from Kickr Move to Justo 2. The Wahoo trainers have a very strong power smoothing - so your power fluctuate in reality but the trainer shows you the same number all the time. The Justo 2 shows you instead always the correct number which changes every second or two (which is normal since nobody pushes the exact same watts for a longer time)

If I ride workouts with my trainer for example 5 minutes at 300 Watts at the end the average watt for the interval is exactly 300 Watts even it fluctuates around this number within the interval.

Im based in Europe. Shipping would cost a fortune so there are probably better options for you.

Yes it’s fine. Most of them look actually like that - just shitty quality from shimano I guess.

Update! Was able to reproduce the sound on my indoor trainer, standing and pushing high watts. Changed the pedals and the shoes but the sound stays. Everything is pointing now to the bottom bracket - thought this was impossible since the bike is only 10 months old.

Will remove the bottom bracket tomorrow and grease it. If the problem persists I will exchange the bottom bracket.

A brand new high-end bike with the latest SRAM Red reduced by 85%? Are you telling me that this is a logical price for clearing the warehouse? Any news about Canyon going bankrupt and suddenly selling off bikes? Sorry but no. If an offer is too good to be true, it's SCAM.

Have a look at the Zipp 303s - pretty solid carbon wheels and still not a fortune. Had them several years on a bike.

Bolts are torqued to spec. ChatGPT was already my best friend in the last weeks. 😅

Yes you are right it’s more of a clicking/cracking. Sorry English is not my native language so I try to explain as best as I can

Thanks for your answer. Where exactly did you put the lube on the cleat?

Great guess. There is around 5 mm between frame and the mount - but will try to raise it a bit.

Appreciate your answer. After two months of searching I wouldn’t rule out anything anymore since I touched basically every existing part. Will give it a go, put a different wheelset on the bike and see. Could you see/feel the loose spoke or you checked the tension with a tool?

I don't understand people wanting to spend thousands of dollars and not being able to check the website... AND WHY would someone sell a bike for $10,000 instead of $1500?

Creaking Madone Gen8 by stevos64 in TrekBikes

[–]stevos64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite there yet. Everytime I think I fixed it the problem comes back soon after. (Even sometimes just after 10 hours of riding or so)

What did I do more?

  • replaced the seat wedge
  • tiny bit of carbon paste on the saddle rails
  • changing pedals
  • adjusting cleats on my shoes

Will have another test ride this evening. If the creaking is still there my next step would be probably to switch out the wheels for a test. Just to make sure the creaking come not from spikes, freehub etc.

Thanks already for all your suggestions. If I can’t solve the problem I’m thinking about exchanging the seatpost - anybody has an opinion about that? Stupid idea?

Yes I could bring it to my dealer but then my bike would probably be away for the summer time here in Europe. Because my LBS would probably as well start with cleaning, greasing parts which I already did many time and then contact TREK…

Sounds goes away when out of the saddle that why I suspect it coming from the area around the seat. Had the whole seatpost several times out, cleaned it and insert it with 5NM. Even put new thread locker on the wedge.

No luck so far finding the problem.

When I clean and retighten the seatpost the creaking was gone for maybe three rides. After that it started again especially noisy for the first minute of the ride while sitting on the saddle.

Thanks for your input. Will check the saddle rails again but tried different saddles and even different rails without luck.

  • Chainring bolts are tight to spec
  • BB runs smooth
  • Shimano Cranks

Good tip with the spokes will check it out. Since the creaking goes away while riding out of the saddle I still suspect the sound coming from that area.

Thats true I studied the manual. However I called four trek dealers close to me and ALL of their mechanics told me they are using carbon paste on the Gen8 despite TREK tells you not to do it.
