your bike sounds like it's about to fall apart any second. Might wanna tighten some stuff up maybe?
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.
Hello from Pittsburgh. How loose are the trails there east of the divide this early in the season? We typically have muck until mid April.
Trails have been hit or miss latley. We had 2 weeks of warm and dry weather so it was good but now we got a lot of rain so it'll probably be muddy for a while longer.
