a bit of a loaded title I know ๐Ÿ™‚

Anyhow, is it just me or are Marin's really creaky? seems to be that every Marin I've seen for the last year or so has been the creakiest bike I have ever heard, I even heard a Whyte on the weekend doing the same thing as the rider bobbed past so I guess its part of the design.

Are they all like this? or have I just been unlucky? Must be weird for the owners as they must never see any wildlife when out on rides.

They get free bearing replacement, so they can't be arsed to clean their bikes, hence creaks!

mental, I can live with a bit of a creaky bike, however I reckon I can hear some of them 100 meters off, due to the non-stop creak-creak-creak-creak-creak

I guess you could use it to measure your cadence.

Can't be as noisey/creaky as an Orange.

but i do oil my sandals regularly, so that may be why
