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 ๐Ÿ˜€ apart from my Marin sounding like a bag of nails!
don't get me wrong the ride was fantastic apart from the noise ๐Ÿ˜ฅ
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.
