Zipp 404 no dimples tubular

[VirtualElvis]

Anyone familiar with them?
I put my campy cassette on... They are campy wheels...
Rode 52 miles......I sounded like a rusty shopping cart...creaking....creaking
Had them trued this morning.... Not as much creaking...
Oh and they only creak while pedaling...silent coasting..
Do I need a spacer or ?
Thanks

I know my 182 Zipp Campy hub required a thin teflon spacer, but that was more of a binding issue. Zipps tech portion of the site is pretty comprehensive and helpful with such matters.

Here's their hub timeline page:

Pretty slim chance the wheels themselves are creaking. my bet is QR. after you took em off you made the QR slightly more or less snug.

It's weird...my carbones ...I really don't tighten my skewer much... And yes you are partially right...
I adjusted hub...greased skewer dropouts and where the spokes cross on the drive side... Tightened skewers
And 95% quieter...
Is this normal zipp behavior?

Bearings just needed grease.....these carbon hoops must be crazy amplifiers.
Hubs are super easy to work on... Creaking gone!
Youtube has great vids for zipp hub maintenance.
