I've got SRAM rival levers, and one of them makes a loose-part buzzing noise when I'm riding - it stops when I put my hand on the shift lever as I ride, but I can't see what to tighten up. Any advice appreciated!

Same thing happens to my S500 levers. My guess is it may be the brake/shifter cables rattling in their sockets. Or cable housing against the hoods or something. It's currently on my 'meh' list.

Cable run is compromised. Take out and replace with shiny, slippery newness

Yeah, I paid more attention to it as I was riding home last night and it seems to only happen in lower gears... slack cable is the answer. Cheers.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
