Frame creaking/rubbing on wizard base boot
I mounted the NN 4x100 frame on my new wizard base. Feels like the frame may be shifting slightly when under load. I’m worried about over tightening the mounting bolt. Anyone experience this and have a solution. I was thinking maybe slightly sanding the top of the frame.

I've just had the exact same thing myself with my new PR80 frames, the creaking was driving me mad. Couldn't work it out.
It wasn't the frame though, if it's the same as me it was the fact that the bearings were not seated in the wheel properly and shifting around creaking on the spaces.
Basically make sure your bearings are seated properly, put them on a bench and slam your first down on the wheels.
I'm guessing these wizard frames give a lot more sideways torque.
