Does this happen on the workstand or only when you're riding?

I have had slightly loose spokes before mostly on MTB and they'll tink only when climbing in really low gears.. seemingly cause that gearing puts more torque through the wheels? It also seemed like lower tire pressures brought this out. It's a tink that I always found hard to isolate whether it was up at the cranks or in the wheel since you can't get it to happen when coasting.

Also does it happen in both rings or only one, I didn't see that. The problem I mentioned only happens in a small enough ring. Doesn't have to be the smallest ring but the gearing needs to be pretty low, down near 1:1.
