Greetings,
Turns out Jim's thinking was spot on. Today the mating call occurred
again despite having re lubed the bottom bracket and pedals. Today
took the wheel out and removed freewheel to get to inside of hub.
Dried out elephant snot was found. Cleaned and re lubed. Now when I
coast, it i
ha ha. fortunately I'm not riding in East Africa in the near future.
If I do, I'll make sure there is no elephant mating call sound...
I cleaned the bottom bracket shell, re greased the bb, and clearned &
re greased the pedals. I also did a cursory check of the rear wheel
and seat just to cover
If you are cycling anywhere in East Africa, I would suggest caution.
An amorous elephant can manage 15 mph.

Is that mating sound a "squeak, squeak, squeak!" or a "tock, tock"? I had my
Riv commuter making such loud,annoying, and troubling knocking and squeaking
noises recently, but only when I powered uphill or accelerated with some
vigah (to quote JFK). I found that tightening the Phil cups cured it. No

Wouldn't an elephant's mating call sound more like trumpeting than

Is it kind of a breathie moan? My Heron does that when the wind/speed's just
right. It's the wind blowing across the bottom of the steerer tube like a
hillbilly playing the jug.

It's got to be either the bb or the freehub, and they both wanted to
be overhauled about 3000 miles ago. My suggestion would be to break
both of them down, do a through inspection of the cup & cones. If OK
repack with new balls.
