Thats the thing, I have been using similar products and have to reapply almost weekly. Probably sooner than that they start to creak but at about a week its enough to have to reapply. On a side note, just ordered some wheel woolies from you last week...

Not sealing them, but using a rubber seal treatment like 1z einszett Gummi Pflege or Seal Feed from Swissvax. Under the assumption that treating them and making them soft would help. It didnt.

This is next. Again, assuming that the wax would make the area slick and reduce the creaking. Maybe the seal treatment, once dried, along with the wax just aggravated it even more... Either way, Im not going to "assume" anymore. Thanks for the ideas.
