Crickets chorus in the wet (Read 74 times)

Keith_T Senior Member Offline Posts: 289 Northern Illinois Gender:	Crickets chorus in the wet 06/15/08 at 20:43:57 Today I rode my Savage for the first time in damp conditions. When moving it sounded like a chorus of crickets was somewhere on the bike. When it dried up later in the day the sound was gone, but it was back when it got damp in the evening? Anyone know what this was from?

Try the 90 degree method for adjusting the belt tension to silence the crickets.

It was Buddy Holley and the Crickets.

Real answer is your belt probably was getting wet. You know how wet tennis shoes squeak across the floor? Same principle.

Thank you....for both answers! (It was really bugging me what the singers name was Wink

And the other answer makes perfect sense!
