The bike is ultra quiet, but so are you scotty!!

Why do you always use nearly brand new bikes when making maintenance and howto-videos like this one? For me, it makes more sense to demonstrate with a bike that actually have bad noise or whatever and actually show that your tips are working rather than just telling what "could" be wrong. But i love your videos and your creativity to find new areas/topics where mountainbikers could need some tips!

now I know why his bike is always so clean, because it is brand new😂

For odd creaks on the bike, especially when pedaling under load, a lot of times you can resolve this by putting a thin film of grease on the pivot point bolt or axle that seems to be the origin of the noise.

Good stuff. I appreciate your quiet delivery.

[chinonian]

I wanna see the cheap bike challenge!!! ☹️☹️☹️

[karlish]

I lined the inside of my chain guide with soft velcro, super nice if I do say so myself ;).

[georgeklug]

Einfache Montage und Handhabung mit sehr gutem Trainingserfolg.

[Wolfiebigtail]

scott you seem so quite in this video as if you are upset

[rlmast]

quiet bike helps you tone into other components that are noisy or may need to be addressed. Love this technology

[TheChricke]

Awesome video, I've never thought of the zip tie around the cables, gonna try that out

[pyotrilyichtchaikovsky]

Thats one of the most gorgeous bikes I’ve ever seen

[darylblain]

Can't believe you have to cable tie the chain stay guard on. My last 2 bikes it has just been part of the frame. The cable tie makes it look cheap.

I swear by using Road bike handlebar tape along my chainstays wrapped all around the length. Great hack/bodge and cheap as chips when purchased from Wilkinsons in the UK. 🇬🇧

Another tip to avoid noise if you have to use spoke reflectors is to avoid ones that hold onto your spokes using metal because it makes an extremely annoying noise.

[tatterz__]

I will try not to forget your name even tho I have been watching your vids solidly for about 3 months now

[ThaMetalMan]

What type of tape is that? I couldn't understand what you said

[swagonman]

I had a noise driving me nuts. Turned out to be the valve stem nuts were rattling. Never had that on my other bikes. ;o)

[seantreacy]

Could you make a video of for beginners who are looking into the sport and what bike to have and stuff pleases

[danyfalcon]

I got the explination of what I need, I wish you included links for the stuff you show on the videos.
