Ticking in Rim
I went down a couple of weeks ago after hitting a pothole. Both the bike and I survived although I lost a little blood. The front rim picked up a ticking sound when turned slowly. I took the bike to the LBS who took the rim and tube, tire off and found all the spokes intact. The Mavic Equipe rim wasn't bent and was still true and he claimed something had broken inside the rim but wasn't serious and that riding with the rim would not present a problem. After I took the bike home I removed the tire, tube and strap to look for the problem but couldn't find anything. I spun the rim in my hand and there was no ticking sound but when I mounted the tire the ticking came back. I can't see the problem and can only hear it. It's very pronounced. Has anybody experienced this or would speculate about the problem?
