Aerospoke noise
With a front Aerospoke on uphill pulls I'm starting to hear a knocking sound. This is only after 2 - 3 rides on it. I've heard its normal so I'm not too worried, I checked and tightened the bolts securing the axel all the way which they seemed they were already good. Should I be concerned of the noise? I hate to say it but I had a rear flat the other day and rode a few miles home so the front wheel aerospoke did take most of my weight the last ride did I wear it out? (I am 182lbs)

It’s hard to diagnose a noise without hearing it, but I’d wager that it has nothing to do with the rear flat. You’re sure the knocking is from the wheel and not the fork/stem/bar or part of the drivetrain? It seems odd that it only happens on climbs.
