    Got a new frame and its got a fair bit of swarf rattling around inside when I tip it over.

    Is there anything I can do to alleviate this noise?

    whats the frame material?

    if steel, how about a waxoil spray in the weld vent holes – swarf might bind and stick to it/frame walls and shut it up a bit.

    Was thinking along those lines. Cheers.

    magnet, draw it up the seat tube? (if it's steel, obviously)

    Fill the frame with concrete or some other setting material.

    Otherwise, no, other than spending a lot of time shaking the frame and picking bits out with tweasers.

    Reminds me of the time that some mates deliberately dropped a ball bearing into another mate's new frame – he's still got it in there 10 years later…

    I suppose I could always audition as a 'modern' version of santa's sleigh as I tinkle down winter trails!
