Hi guys,

after some advice on a pinging noise which appears to come from the front wheel.

This only occurs when tipped into right hand corners, I can also make it happen in a straight line if I lean the bike over to right. It sounds like something is clipping a spoke but I can not see anything that would cause this. I'm running dt swiss e2200 wheels, hope m4 brakes and hope floating rotors, the disc runs true with no pad rub and I'm stumped on this.

It's driving me crazy so any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

You may find it is the rotor rubbing on the pads under hard cornering, as the wheel flexes.

Not sure, I notice it on one of my bikes sometimes. It seems to happen more with bigger rotors, so maybe a smaller one?
