I recently installed some Aican cable housing with Powercordz. As I rotate the handlebars, some of the sections in the cable housing creak as the handlebars move left or right. None of the cables are touching each other, so it's not from cable slap. I can tell it's the section, because as I ride and hear the noise, if I hold onto the cables, the creaking stops. Anyone else have this issue with metal sectioned cable housing?

Thanks.

Little bit of chain lube will shut them up

You'll never hear them while riding, you know.

I'll give that try - thanks

Actually they do creak from the road vibration. I thought it was something more serious at first.

Hmmm... that's some pretty heavy creaking then.
My cables slightly creak, but it's only audible when the bike is being manoeuvered around the house or when on the stand.

As stated above, lubing the cables & housing will help.

Worked like a charm. Thanks guys. Riding around with the creaking was driving me crazy.

You can also use silicone spray, this helpes also but don't atrackt dirt.

My I-Links do all the time, drives me NUTS, ive tried chain lube and wax and bloody everything. Theyve done a few kms though, so im might hook myself up with a new set... Best of luck, i like a quiet bike!
