Hi all,
I'm sure I'm not the only one who likes a near-silent bike. My v-
braked RockHopper has an exposed brake cable inner routed along the
top tube. When brand-spanking-new from the EBC, there were three
rubber-y whotsits that prevented the cable slapping the top tube.
(Little friction-fit, donut-shaped 'washers'). These migrated slowly
towards the seatpost with time, and every few days, I would restore
them to the quarter points of the cable.
Their training has paid off however, and they can now migate the
length of the cable in a single commute. This results in the cable
slapping the top tube and sounding something like someone attempting
to play duelling banjo's on the spoons. (My commute takes in quite a
few cobbled streets). It's driving me nuts.
Suggestions from the wise appreciated,
Michael.
