Help me with my bike rattle cycling brothers - please

it does sound very much like a hub! either front or back :) my stock triban wheels sounded very similar.. jeez the looks I got when I was riding on that hub for 3 days through oxford street lol..
 
lol I was trying to find a clicking sound for days it only ever happened at a specific point when pedalling but only when I pedalled a full circle.

If if went back and forward on the pedals over that point I got no click at all...
2 rides doing it and scratching my head the whole time...

sometimes it would disappear for a few miles and then come back...

Guess what it was... the square it on a zip tie that holds my crank magnet was catching on the pedal each time the pedal did a full rotation and not each time the crank did like I thought.......
Honestly was convinced I had a crushed bearing in my bottom bracket lol...

as soon as I realised it was the zip tie I remembered rotating it around the crack because the square bit had been whacking on the sensor...
Double face palm!

I hate how bike creaks and clicks can be almost anything and they never appear to come from the area you suspect

Check the spokes. I've had issues with loose spokes that made noises like that. It's not inconceivable that more are loose so the tension has balanced out and stopped making noise.
Click to expand...

where 2 spokes touch they can rub slightly some people will oil where they touch to prevent any rubbing noises

The time I had it was a wheel chronically out of balance because a few spokes had come loose. As the wheel rotated the rim was moving relative to the hub because of this. It got worse because I didn't realise that at the time, and a heavy landing later I had a couple of snapped spokes! Balanced the rest up and it rode ok for a few months mind.
 
The current wheel is a Mavic CXP22 32h rim on a generic hub (branded Forme) with generic 15g spokes (no mention of butting). Gruppo is Tiagra, so I think that is 9 speed, right?

Provided you don't mind your wheels not matching then I would suggest asking a local bike shop to build a 32hole Mavic Open Pro on a Shimano 105 hub.
