Hey all,
So my 2013 Trance X1 makes a fair bit of noise when things get rough. On reasonably small bumps it makes a noticeable noise which sounds like it's coming from the front. When it gets very rough and fast it just gets noisier. Hard to describe the noise exactly, it doesn't sound like damaged parts or rattling or anything broken, it is more like things hitting against metal... I don't think there is anything wrong as such, but it just makes the bike sound dodgy when it starts making the noises. I think it is just the cables whacking against each other as that seems to make the same sound when I test it. Also, the internal cabling for the dropper post and derailleurs seems to be a culprit as I think it whacks against the inside of the frame (again, I can make the same noises by tugging on the cables..) I know chain slap will be in there too but it's a different noise to that.
Basically, I want to get rid of the noise so I can ride in peace. Does anyone have any suggestions about what could be making the noise (anything in addition to what I mentioned) and also how I could go about fixing it?
Thanks,
Cam
