Every day when I leave my house my bike makes a ticking sound. It happens whether I pedal or not and speeds up if I go faster so I'm assuming it has something to do with a wheel. Also based off of pitch it sounds like a spoke.
Neither wheel appears out of true and no spoke feels loose.
After riding for about 10-20 mins the ticking goes away, but returns at the start of the next ride.
Any idea what this could be? The only thing I can think of is the something to do with the temperature change from going inside the house to outside (difference of 25-30 degrees right now).
