    buddy, this is normal on all geared bikes. its called 'chainslap' it happens due to the spring in the derailleurs. cant do without the springs either!!!
    what you could do is this




    in other words, just take an old bike tube and wrap it around the chainstay. or take an old bike tire cut it length wise and just wrap it on the chain stay. you'll be surprised how quiet your bike gets after this treatment!

    a 'little' more expensive way would be getting a gearbox bike like this one !!!



    do check out their other bikes in the stable... HOT in all caps is an understatement!!!

    I am not much of cycling, however i had been to a firefox outlet couple of months back and since then i have been deciding on buying a bicycle and ride it...
    Firefox is a very good brand as far i know..but it is priced to heavy for my pockets...
    Can you recommend a cycle within the range of 5000 to 8000 which had disk breaks and also shock absorbers and light weight.

    would love to do what you are doing now...so help me in this
    i think you could try the hero thunder. its very light( had one some years back) it costs around 5-6 grands. its a rigid bike. meaning, it doesnt have suspension. then there is the hero octane, its got front and rear suspension and it has cable actuated disc brakes. but personally i wouldnt recommend this bike, as it looks really really really ugly ! it costs around 8 grands if m not mistaken. dunno much about local bike brands what they're upto, as i've stopped checkin them out.
