hey i have recently noticed a clicking noise in my front wheel
i know its in the front wheel because i flipped the bike over and i spun the front wheel and it clicks
ive taken the berrings out and regreased them with some good grease i bought from a local bike shop
ive checked the spokes to make sure there not hitting the forks
what do you think it could be?
i want to ask yall before taking it to my shop (they make you pay just to tell you whats wrong)
thanks
o yeah and this is a 20" bmx bike

Try checking spoke tension throughout the rim, pay close attention to any extremely tight spokes adjacent to very loose spokes.

It's odd that the clicking is still there when the bike is upside down and you spin the wheel.
I'm with Dave, it's probably in the spokes. Try putting a drop of oil on each spoke nipple.

If the noise is present when the wheel has no load then it is almost certainly not the spokes. I would doublecheck the bearings and look for rough or pitted cones or balls. Other than that, check the bearing adjustment to make sure it is not too loose.
