Hey there. I just bought a used KH24 (2010?) in great shape and am stoked. I’m a noob, so don’t know if this is weird or not… I took it out for a spin on a local bumpy soccer field to get used to the larger (than 20") wheel, and three or four times over half an hour, I heard a faint “ping” or “tick” come from the spokes (or one spoke). Everything is tight… so… wazzup? I didn’t hear it on my older KH20…
I wouldn’t worry about it unless it is a consistent thing. Wheels flex and the spokes move a bit. The noise is most likely a spoke seating itself. Usually new wheels will do this at first. Since the uni is new to you, it may be getting used to your weight.
