  1. My bike is making a loud ping when I turn the bars (whilst riding) even
    slightly and I can feel a knock through the bars when it happens.

    I've checked the ferrules and even removed the stem and greased the inside
    of the stem along with the stem/bar interface but without success.

    The headset is correctly preloaded and turns smoothly. It's pretty new too
    only having done a little over 1000 miles.

    I was wondering about the spokes in the front wheel, perhaps flex in the
    wheel whilst turning could cause spoke rub but all the spokes feel fine.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers,
    PJay

    I would check your front wheel bearings for looseness, lack of lubrication,
    pitting, etc.

  3. Do you have a magnet on your front wheel? check that it isn't hitting the
    computer sensor.

  4. Thanks,

    Yes I do have a front wheel magnet but it is well clear of the sensor.
    Having ridden the front wheel in a differant bike (which made the knocking
    even worse) I am inclined to suspect bearing, or possibly spokes.

    Thanks for the replies,
    Paul.
