wheel bearings ?, another option is brakes as i had a very quiet squeak from the front and it turned out to be the brake brakes were close enough to catch but not enough to be noticeable

Hi the bearing are silent on the stand and no squeak the brakes is an avenue they are carbon rims with rim brakes I'll open them out fully and see what happens. Definitely nothing in the stand could the extra weight on the road squeeze things a mm or so 🤔

Have you checked everything for fatigue fractures?

Check the spokes, it could be a slightly loose spoke where they cross each other.

Now that's something I know nothing of its an alloy frame and I've done my checks there's nothing that looks like a crack there's an old war wound on the lhs chsinstay from wheel rub that got down to the metal been there 2 years and seems the same ?
