After a couple of miles I'm getting an intermittent tapping the sound of which reminds me of a thrush bashing snails on a rock. It then becomes more regular, about once per wheel revolution, then more frequent (though less regular.) Swopping rear wheels confirms that it's coming from the wheel. Pedalling or freewheeling makes no difference but the tapping only happens when I'm on the bike, it's silent with the wheel off the ground.
The wheel is handbuilt amrosio excellight rims on an ambrosio hub with cartridge bearings. There is no play or roughness detectable when turning the axle with the wheel on the bench. The wheel is true and none of the spokes seem looser than the others.
Any ideas what's causing this?
