If you can hear your bike, you not going fast enough

 

sorry, not friday yet ?

hahaha Cole definitely goes fast/hard enough!

 

My secret is being deaf... that way I don't really hear the squeaks and moans unless they are really bad.

Cables slapping also makes a noise, and it is worse in internally touted frames.

Not if you build it properly. Spez supply thin foam tubes to shroud the cable housing, which works wonderfully. Should be standard on every bike IMO

if i could ride like that oke my bike can make as much noise as it likes. But yes I know what you're saying - bike rattling grinds my t!ts as well. Worst place for me is Tree Charge at Conters.

Interesting. I suspected the rattle on my duel was from the internal cabling. Going to give this a try thanks
