Campag Neutron spokes pinging

Hello there - greetings from one of the only Serotta owners in Poland, I'd imagine...

I've had my bike (CDA) for a little over a year (purchased from you) and all is absolutely marvellous (can't tell you how much I love it!).

On your recommendation, I took Campag Neutron wheels from you. I've noticed that the spokes ping and rub a great deal when climbing hard. Is this anything to worry about? I'm within the recommended weight for the wheels, and haven't actually broken any spokes, but the wheel sounds like there's something wrong with the tensions when working hard...

I'd be really grateful if you could advise! Many thanks, and greetings to you all!

Pleased to say this is solved - local bikeshop in Krakow (http://www.poreba.carrer.pl/) pointed out that the spokes were good and tight, but that they needed a good clean, and a drop of Pedros in between each overlap...

Quiet bike again now. Nice

That's good news, John. As the lack of a reply shows we were scratching our heads a bit over this. Now I'll know what to do when mine start making noise!
