Chain slap....coma13 said:The sound happens whenever I see people riding through rough stuff, not necessarily with any exterior contact with the frame that would cause the noise.
Well, there are lots of noises on a bike frame at a given time. Chain slap, creaking of suspension components, feet/knees contacting the frame, plus any vibrations that are being transmitted from the ground or the brakes...coma13 said:I understand the characteristics of the sound, and why it sounds the way it does. What I'm wondering is what exactly is causing this? Just impact transferred by the suspension linkage? The sound happens whenever I see people riding through rough stuff, not necessarily with any exterior contact with the frame that would cause the noise.
all bikes make that noise. its just that the monocoque amplifies it.coma13 said:I understand the characteristics of the sound, and why it sounds the way it does.

True conversation. My bike sounds MEAN!
Expanding foam ay.... hmmm, my ex girlfriend could have used some of that stuff in her bra.jrfor0 said:fill the tubes with expanding insulator foam and they will be silent.
so THAT explains why all the girls I date are so noisy?More hollow space = more noise.
People don't actually do that .... do they? :nonono:jrfor0 said:fill the tubes with expanding insulator foam and they will be silent.
Yeah, I wanna know if people actually do it.BuddhaRoadkill said:People don't actually do that .... do they? :nonono:
I look as confused as "the blue thing."konastab01 said:Few lads I know have filled there frames with expanding foam and it really quietens it down,only problem is no more powdercoats
Because the key to powdercoating is "baking" the coat at high temperatures... who knows what effects that could have on the foam inside the frame.Chunky Munkey said:I look as confused as "the blue thing."
You put the foam "inside" the frame, then can't powdercoat paint the "outside". Huh? Why?
"sitting here looking stupid waiting for the answer"
good thing you can always do it after powdercoating.....although i know how vain Foes owners are who insist on repainting their frames every season....coma13 said:Because the key to powdercoating is "baking" the coat at high temperatures... who knows what effects that could have on the foam inside the frame.
that might be the creepiest thing i've heard here....well that wasent perverted...offtheedge said:everybody knows they're loud from trapping all the souls of ellsworth riders who no longer need them
