i had this problem for 2 years now but it comes and goes, it has gone as long as 3 to 4 weeks without grinding and as bad as 2 or 3 times a day.
BTW i have the Fidanza Flywheel and i have about 30k on it.


You sure it isn't the weird "clattering/rapping" start up sound that some of us have every now and then.
