  1. First an update:

    I junked the cantilevers on my trek 820 for v brakes and levers. BTW,
    I had to modify the little steel brake cable tube that was brazed to
    the frame behind the seat tube. I removed about 3/4 of it with a
    grinder. I am very pleased with the performance now.

    The new issue:

    I got a U lock with it and it rattles like a mother when Im riding.
    Is there any little things I can do to prevent all of the noise
    eminating from the lock? Thanks.

    Why would you need a U-lock on a mountain bike trail?

    I would have to side with JD. But on the other hand pad it.

    Hey, sometimes you have to stop on the way home to get a pint. Bikes
    don't last two minutes unlocked on the street here.
