Noticed yesterday, a slight pinging coming from the left front wheel of the Catike. Only when I turn very tightly, or fast, so the wheel is under maximum sideways stress.
Had a look today, and all the spokes seem secure enough. A bit of slow circling showed that it was occurring when the spoke reflector was at the bottom, but taking it off made no difference. It sounds like 3 spokes, a sort of ping-ping-ping on each revolution. On a tight-but-less-tight turn, I was getting just a single ping.
Any ideas? Should I be worried, and can I solve it? Something I think I read ages ago made me wonder if I should lube my nipples, if you'll pardon the expression.
