Chain slap

I think it’s because I wear earplugs. I didn’t have any on for a little bit yesterday and I could hear the chain.

The slap is inherent in the design, plenty of youtubes on the matter.

I don’t see an issue with it or any of the other noises people try and silence, but I had been wondering how people were hearing it

It has to be worse for some people than others it just has to be. 

If every bike was as bad as mine we'd never hear the end of it. Plus you'd hear it on videos that aren't about chain slap...not that I've seen one that is about chain slap

 

Seriously mine sounded like the chain was jumping the back sprocket. You'd have heard it with ear plugs for sure, and it's gone away now so I can't say it's inherent
