My garage-built cruiser is finally quiet on the road

Picked up a noisy cruiser from a buddy. Thought the chain was the issue. Found dry hub bearings instead. Cleaned and greased them properly. Also tweaked the brake alignment. Now it rides smooth and quiet. Really proud of this fix.

Nice work tracking down the real problem. Might be worth checking the frame bolts next, they can sometimes work loose and cause a rattle.

Wait, is a rattle really that big a deal?

Tightened my frame bolts after hearing a rattle. It fixed the issue right away.
