Torqued the stem bolts before leaving work. It was not them. On getting home I swapped the skewar - still no change.
If I rock the bike back and forth while leaning on the bars over the front wheel I can definitely hear it and it does sound like the wheel.
I'll swap to a different wheel to confirm later.
I assumed a radially laced wheel (not laced by me) would not ping as there are no crossing spokes. I thought the pinging was the spokes rubbing across each other and the spokes untwisting as the stress in the spokes was released. This wheel was built years ago.
