well its good to know its not just me that strives to have a silent bike
it is pretty annoying, especially when you think you’ve done everything possible to erradicate it
the lbs were saying yesterday that they get no end of people in when it gets stupiduly hot like this saying that there bikes are creaking and that there brakes are not working properly and squeaking 😆 usually the rain,wet,mud,puddles etc will often lube (or at least disguise/take away some noise) areas of the bike to take noises away
i guess keeping a good amount of lube on the chain in these temps is a good idea for a smoother drivertrain, ill be bunging loads on mine tonight to see if that was the actual cause of last rides clicking!
if not im going to strip the bike down or get the lbs to do it, they built it up for me from new and it was silent, and boy did it run smooth and quiet 🙁
im pretty good at maintaining it (and looking after it), and i enjoy doing it too, so its not as if mine is just dumped away after everyride
sure ill track it down in the end, but i am glad to know its not just me, all i wanna do is go out (especially when on your own) and have fun and have a nice peaceful ride
