Almost finished, who else loves that sound?

Nearly finished restoring my first proper bike from back in the day. While I'm waiting for a few last bits and pieces I thought I'd bolt on an old DCD I had lying around, wow that sound takes me back in love it so it's staying. Lol.

Sram woody mech something a bit different. I might be nuts but I love the sound of it like a soft ticking, but then again I used to peg playing cards to forks as well lol ( when I was 5!)

I was always mixed about DCDs. Mine was (and still is) anno purple so I loved it from the start. I also loved (with a long cage mech) how it kept the chain fom slapping around too much on rough stuff... have to say the noise did drive me a bit loopy after a while though, so ended up popping it back in the tool box.

Re:

I personally hate the sound of DCD's, it's like the thing is mocking and saying ''all that dragging sound is slowing you down!'' I put a piece of inner tube on the roller, but that just annoyed me more, less noisy, but more draggy.

Big respect for the Woody mech though... nice.

Another dcd(type) hater here too.
Though with mine it was the Ging thing.
