    Who owns a quiet geared full susser?
    If so what make is it.
    Ive just come back from 2 days at Afan which was soooooooooooooo good 😀 apart from my Marin sounding like a bag of nails!
    don’t get me wrong the ride was fantastic apart from the noise 😥
    maybe I need to bubble wrap everything!

    You can run a simple chain device. My 5 Spot is silent.

    Most mono/box tubing will be loud anyway.

    Chain slap really annoys me too, hence I have a chainstay protector, E13 LG1+ and velcro patches anywhere the chain may contact the frame. Also Sram or shadow mechs will be quieter.

    I’ll service the chain tonight then;-)
    Think the front mech has a lot to do with it. Maybe?
    Chainstay is wraped with a innertube.

    The chain can slap on the seat stay too! A front mech will never be really quiet though, singlespeed for silent.
