I am considering either an SLT01 (upgrade from current ride) or an SLC01 (BIG upgrade). In researching these 2 frames, I have read some mentions of der. cables rattling inside the downtube. One comment specifically mentioned this happened when in the small chainring. A review I read here stated that he had this problem, but it was fixed by his LBS adding a plastic cable sleeve over the part of the cables inside the downtube. Test rode both frames at my LBS and the SLT01 did have a rattle coming from down low in the frame on rough pavement, but could have just been needing an adjustment.

Is this common with these frames? If so, does anyone know a fix for it, like the plastic sleeves? Noises from my bikes tend to drive me crazy, so don't want to spend that kind of money and not be happy.

Any help is appreciated.

How about those little rubber donuts?

This is INSIDE the frame -- internal cable routing -- I think it's a little diffn't.
