tomreece Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Haven't take it in yet. I'm a bit embarrassed to take it in and say "It makes a lot of noise on the trail... but not right here on flat ground, just trust me though!" I'll take it in some day this week though and will keep you guys updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it before the next thing you know it is a year from now and then you really cant do anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack_turtle Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 six years as a shop mechanic- I saw some DUMB stuff from otherwise smart people. the fact that you're aware of a bad noise coming from your bike and tried to solve it yourself is phenomenal. most bike mechanics like a good mystery. that's what I loved about it, anyways.

tomreece Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 Update: Before my ride today I removed the seat post, spread the grease around a bit, put it back on, and hit the trail. No noise! I’m glad I asked you guys first. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
