I used to have that rattle and was due to the dropper post cable; which I later removed...Sigurd wrote: ↑Mon Jun 17, 2019 12:19 pmAnyone else experiencing rattle from the downtube when going over terrain? After inspecting from the hole where the downtube is welded to the bottom bracket, the rattle seems to come from the gear cable vibrating and touching the hydraulic brake hose for the rear brake. Any tips for a quick fix?
By the way, hi everyone, another Topstone Apex1 owner here. Use it as my main conmuter, I do 50Kms and about 2hrs 3-4 times a week. Most of it in tarmac, but also cycle lanes and gravel cycle paths in some of the parks on my route.
Modifications:
- *Tubus Vega 29 (Tubus Vega 26-28 was too tight for fenders)
*SKS Speedrocker mudguards (thanks triteacher for the tips and photos, great mudgards!)
*44T SRAM Apex Chainring
*Gravelking 35mm (so much faster...than the WTB)
*Cheap aluminium seatpost

P.D: I'm in love with the blue colour in the bike, my first none-black bike in a while...
