On its way dude
My Fox X2 was recently replaced under warranty, It was losing about 50% air on each ride and lost all dampening. The replacement shock is running great so far! My bike also no longer has the knocking sound that I thought was coming from the motor.Hi !
Today my X2 in the S-Works is blown. After 2 months of riding trails and jumplines i could see black residuals on the shaft. Looks like the seals were running dry and grinded away. A few rides later the shock lost 50% of the air pressure suddenly.
I‘m now asking me if a warranty repaired shock will not have the same problem. Perhaps this is a design problem of the yoke-linkage which gives the shock extreme sideloads.
I‘m runnign with 210psi/2airvol spacers/80kg
Are there same issues with your X2 ?
If the compatible coil optins where cheaper i would swap to that, but i actually only see EXT and Push as robust yokelink compatible shocks
Best regards,
Chris
Interesting you say that. I have a knocking which sounds like the battery knocking over rough ground.My Fox X2 was recently replaced under warranty, It was losing about 50% air on each ride and lost all dampening. The replacement shock is running great so far! My bike also no longer has the knocking sound that I thought was coming from the motor.
I have installed SRAM AXS in my Gen 3. the plastic cable routing sleeves have lots of potential to rattle, I did manage to pull them out (dropper and rear mech) from the tcu opening.
Also, the star ratchet on the carbon rims is not 24 tooth as stated above. I didn't count it, but looks like 52 or 36. I will get around to counting the actual number of teeth later.
and do we know what frame size needs the additional battery spacer? (E in this picture)

Comp carbon and alloy comp getting released in November ? Anyone confirm prices, specs?
What rubber are you people using?
2.5 assegai and 2.4 magic mary looks absolutely anaemic on these things in real life. Hoping they bed in and get a little wider.
Wasn't that impressed with the butcher really I know Rob was gushing about them on YouTube but they lacked a little bite and are too wide to allow the bike to tip in as well as I'd like. Hated the eliminator. Mainly because it was a vague 2.6 again stopped the bike from being tipped into turns easily.
Had a 2.4 Big Betty out back for a month but was an oddly drift-y tire
Utterly Smitten with this bike though. Coming from a 2019 stumpjumper it's corrected everything that was wrong with my stumpy in terms of geometry, handling and sizing and build issues. Only complaint is the rear shock is a bit pants. Keep eyeing up the new 22 DHX (yes... warranty) but we shall see.

I've put a 2.6 eddy current on the front and its like sh!t to a blanket on most trails.
I used a Big Betty as a rear tyre and would do so again if I could find one in stock!
I think a Magic Mary is also a great tyre. Never used one on the rear, but might give it a try.
I wouldn't go bigger than 2.6 on either end, it could all get a little vague.
Interesting to hear you say about the standard tyres being a bit rubbish. That is how I feel about them too.
I find the there is a big gap in traction on the front tyre when leaning it over and the rear feels horrible and squirmy.
What are your issues with the rear shock out of interest?
Is the eddy current draggy or not really?I think so, been using one on the front for the last 12 months through all conditions and not had any concerns with grip or cornering. but I am only a weekend warrior, so couldnt really get into the extreme limit capabilities of the tyre.
After my X2 was blown and another X2 has the same sideplay feelable on the air seal when flexing the backwheel i tried a Super deluxe. First ride was promising, little bit less small bump plushness.
