jrussel: it shouldnt click. you sure u have the proper amount of preload on that coil? If you set your sag correctly (according to what u like really), then the coil should be properly jammed up against that preload nut. Granted, i have a vivid, but i've never had it click.

 

 

 

 

 

but generally, i'm with Daniel: bikes are bloody noise, and it's really just the damn chain making most of the rattles. which reminds me i really need to change that bloody drop out, and get a new chain.

Just around the park on one of the test rides well you really don't notice the gear change as much as you do with a RD it just like all of a sudden you having to pedal harder. Also you have 14 gears instead of just 9
