It smells a bit like toothpaste. At least that's what I associate with it.

Time for cleaning... again!

No more rattling and disintegration of my bike's frame. Unfortunately the read spacer is a bit too large and now I keep hitting the U-lock with my left foot. I'll have to see if I can adjust my way of moving my left foot or if I'll have to redo this hack.

Quick fix with some Sugru

Knead it a bit until it becomes sticky. It smells a bit like toothpaste or maybe like some vicious substance preferably used by dentists. Surfaces that should not be adhered to should be treated with a bit of dishwasher fluid and water.

I thoroughly cleaned the frame with isopropyl alcohol before applying the putty. To transfer the shape of the U-lock into the putty, I used good old dishwasher fluid mixed with water to keep it from sticking where it shouldn't. As you can see I hadn't cleaned the U-lock well enough and a bit of chain lube got embedded into the anti-rattle-buffer.
