Hi guys,

I have a rhytmical clicking noise coming from the front wheel! I have checked the spokes and none of are particulary loose. I can make it louder and more frequent when brkaing hard on the front. Headset seems ok and tightend correctly.
bike is a Specialized Rockhopper

Its driving me nuts! Any guesses?

hub?

    Have you checked the brake for any debris that may be rubbing?

    Could it be a Spoky Dokey?

    could be some cracks that you haven't noticed? dust can get in those. take a closer look at it.

    Bearings, remove wheel and check by turning and for play....

    Ok, i check the bearing and it looks and feels all ok, no notchiness etc.

    I tightend all spokes too a little! Nice is still there...

    I checked the rim itself and noticed a kind of weld mark going straight across.. Looks like the rear wheel has a similar one.... So i guess normal

    Rims are DT swiss custom x420sl.

    Brake looks all ok too....i am running out of ideas.

    Brake disc just catching the pad and moving it in the caliper?
