Top 5 Ways to Keep your Mountain Bike Running Silent | MTB Tutorial

In today's tutorial, I break down my top 5 techniques that you can use to keep your Mountain Bike running as silent as possible. Personally, I find riding a quiet bike to be very satisfying and really help me out on the trail. We start off with discussing the importance of washing your bike and then dive into the reasons to keep your chain lubed. While those two points may seem surface-level, they are vital to keeping your bike in top shape. Next up, we dive into how to keep your brakes from rubbing, discuss frame protection, and wrap up with torquing linkage bolts. If there is anything I missed that works for you to keep your MTB quiet, please let me know in the comments!

    I like using silicone fusing tape to wrap cockpit cables together. Non Adhesive and sets up a pretty permanent bond, cheap, so I don't mind cutting it if I have to do cable replacements, comes in diff colors too.

    The rattling of internally routed hydraulic brake hoses and shift cables within the frame (Me: Nukeproof Reactor, full carbon frame, Factory) is a little more challenging to silence, but so worth it and satisfying when its done! Foam tubing, or similar, over the internal lines definitely works. But if you haven't tried Nerf darts with the tips cut off, or thought about cutting long strips out of a pool noodle, have you really tried everything??😂👍‼

    I ride my bike right after lubing so it will be shifted either way. I leave the bike in last gear out of habit since a mechanic once told me that my derailleur broke possibly from being left on a bigger cog a lot of something. Frankly neither of know what happened there but if it might've been the problem I'll just avoid it. But that means the moment I ride I will be shifting it 3 gears up. My main bike's noise issue was from the linkage bearings. The other one just has a rattly wheel, axle is tight, it really just has weird issues.

    @@Rose_Butterfly98 Personally I have never heard of that and I don't actually think about what gear my bike is in when I put it away. Leaving your bike in the easiest gear will have the derailleur more stretched out which could maybe cause wear over time, but I am not too certain. Hope this helps!
