Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

So, Larry, you've gotten more than enough advice and suggestions to find an affordable way to resolve your bicycle noise issue. If you cannot find a way to resolve this issue then you will simply have to survive those "classist" members of the group ride who are so insensitive as to complain about your noise.

SO your options are clear:
1) Fix the bike
2) Grin and bear the criticism from the group ride
3). Don't ride with the group, ride alone.

I'm closing this thread for your own protection, some folks around here are getting fed up with your dysfunction, and I can't blame them.

PS: No more ridiculous threads please, they're not even entertaining. Cheers!
