They squeaked when I installed new wheels, and putting a little oil on the rim prevented them from producing the noise. The next ride, Mother Nature gave me a chance to test them in wet conditions. They still performed like a dream. They squeak no more, once was enough. Why are people so opposed to putting oil on their rim(s)? Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
