    Thank for the videos! My buddies and I are kayaking novices, but I have been using these for adventure ideas in our area. Would you say that the rapids for this segment (Brunswick to Point of Rocks) are no more than Class 1? We are looking to do this casually with camping in June and we all have Sit-on-top yaks not really rated for whitewater beyond that.

      All low-mid level Marlins sound like that. It's a combination of internal cable routing rattle and chain slap. His is a 2020 Marlin 6 which has a Shimano Altus rear derailleur which doesn't have a clutch so the chain will slap against the chainstay. Newer Marlins now feature 1x drivetrains which have a clutch on the rear derailleur. As for the internal cables, the solution to that is to route a foam sleeves (they're sold by Specialized bicycles) inside the frame tubing. Both upgrades can be done for about $300 in tool and parts. I did them myself to a 2019 Marlin 7 which came as an Altus/Acera 3x9 and is now a Shimano Deore 1x10.
