Internal routed cable noise! Tip of the day!

To remedy bike noise from internally routed cables try the following

1. Wrap the cable housing with electrical tape to fill the gap

2. Zip tie the cable housing where it enters and exits the frame

3. Stuff foam inside the frame and push the cable housing through it

4. Space o rings along the length of the cable

5. Sheath the cable housing in surgical tubing

6. Put heat strink tape/tubing over the cable housing

Internal cable noise is caused by (A) bad frame design with no built-in foam liner and internal cable guides, and/or (B) poor installation like missing some cable accessories (donuts, liners, etc.).

Check with the store you bought the bike from and/or have a local bike shop take a look.
