My pompino has been making a right racket recently, and i eliminating everything one by one - its the front wheel!. The spokes seem to bang and ping (more like a heavy creak).

I have dropped some oil onto the nipples, but the noise seems to be from the spoke rubbing on eachother. Whats my next step ? titghten each spoke?

They are open pro, ambrosio hubs, ss spokes.

    If the spokes are moving then the attention of a wheel builder is needed.

    a 1/4 turn on each nipple may fix it but really the wheel should be re tensioned.
