    Actually, even when it's not hitting the wheel, mine make a faint audible tick.
    Oil is good, grease is better.

    aaahhh silence

    Finally worked out what it was! Not shoe laces (I wasn't wearing any), not cadence counter (I don't have one), not rear wheel (put another one on and the noice was still there). Spent another hour at the bike shop this afternoon trying to figure out where it could be coming from. Finally the shop guy had the brilliant idea to try pedalling out of the saddle....voila, no noice. So he greased the seat post, put it back and now it is once again smooth and quiet.
