Noisy Chain

izumi chains are loud

my guess, try to remove all the grease as well as possible as my izumi chain had this sticky grease on it in the first place, re lube and see if it is quieter

there are other threads about loud izumis

also the title of the thread is wrong, since the chain is new the bike is somewhat irrelevant from whether or not it is a noisy chain

never never wipe off factory chainlube, i find this is the bestest stuff and tends to last the longest.

KMC i find are usually loud, although my new izumi is still too new to notice.
