When you have carbon rims with high profile and use tubes or TPU that don't come with bolts: the valve head will be rattling inside the wheel hole. Need to use rubber stickers to cover the valve and stick them to the rim (insert the sticker which will normally have a hole in the middle, onto the valve and push down and stick them to the rim), the rubber stickers will absorbe vibrations from the valve head.

Another thing I found is if you over-tighten the handlebar clamps it sort of deforms the body of the whole shifter just enough to where the levers themselves are in a sort of "engaged" state constantly. This can cause a rattle. Note that it's at such a high torque of over-tightening you would probably be damaging the handlebar if it's carbon, but it's something I was troubleshooting for a while and couldn't find any suggestions online, so I figured a comment here might be useful to somebody looking at things that might be causing rattling.

Cassette not torqued to spec causing rattling noises at certain gears. Had this twice on new bikes… Canyon and Giant. … also a small chain ring in the front having screws not torqed to spec drove me nuts especially in the moutains - hours of *click*, *click* 🤯 On my Ultegra 8000 I even need to use the blue loctite to finally find silence 😌🧘♂️ Another one: The old wahoo bolt made a noise on cobbles in the original mount. There was too much space between the computer and the mount. Fixed with a piece of a felt stripe on the bottom of the computer.

I was so hoping this would address the rattle in my Ultegra R8170 but alas it seems to be different. Resting a finger on the smaller shifter "blade" keeps it quiet, but that's not something I want to do all the time! I enjoyed the bonus rattle debugging at the end though, that mini pump was sneaky.

Any bike that can not startle a cat is too loud. For the split cables used when a frame has S&S couplers, the joint can rattle against the frame while you're riding. Unscrew the joint and wrap a rubber band around the long side until it is just thicker than the joint itself. Voila.

Not in rattling department but drove me crazy: my Ultegra 12s lever was not reacting to free stroke regulation yet still had *a lot* of gap causing the lever moving freely (until catching the breaking point eventually). It looked like the piston in the lever was not coming back to the neutral position *because of lever screw being too tight and/or lever twisted too much inwards* ("aero position"). It looked like the lever body was deformed because of the tension - when tightened correctly the issue disappeared magically. Oh, it was sooo frustrating 👎👎

I ride Sram rival and even with perfectly alligned Real derailleur and fresh waxed chain, the cassette in combinatie with chain makes a lot of noise. Sram recommends Sram stealth rings which are black rubber bands to put in between the cassete rings. Anybody experience with these rings and of the actually work?? Love how quiet a Shimano drivetrain is and searching to reach the same stealth mode with my Sram setup.
