Clicking noise front wheel
I am relatively new to biking but am liking it loads. Recently went out on a ride and the front wheel started clicking. Very annoying but can’t seem to locate the exact source of the clicks. It happens continually while bike is in motion both while freewheeling and while peddling. It only happens while I’m on the bike actually riding it. No clicks at any other time. Any suggestions as the possible problem would be very much appreciated. Thanks in anticipation guys.

Also, if your front wheel has a plastic reflector attached to the spokes, it can also be a bit loose and clicking.

On my bike I've had this happen in the past and it's been a need for lubrication of
- spoke heads in the hub and
- spoke nipple/rim interface (mainly)
