That may work O.K., but you are better off with a softer material.

The BEST sound deadener? Lead.

Next best, but probably not suitable? Sound deadener like they use in auto doors- looks and feels like a sticky clay.

For our bikes, I'd recommend a thick, dense rubber, but not too hard a compound.
