Last time this happened to me it was the end of the RD cable hitting the spokes.

The easiest thing is an old wheel with a threaded axle. If you thread the axle into the derailleur hanger, the wheel is large enough that you will see a bend.

+1 The last two generations of Shimano rear derailleurs send the cable right into the spokes, and it is not easily predictable in the stand.

EDIT: sorry you said a different wheel, not a different bike ...
