Mine did exactly the same thing than in the video. However the battery drop was caused by misaligned frame connectors. Nothing to do with the lock.

I’m skeptical. It has bigger reservoir tilted more forward. Most propably hits the downtube.

Mine is 2018 DHX2 60mm stroke

Fox DHX2. Miles better, plush and responsive.

2021 Rail 9 looks really good. Spec is on point!

That new DHX2 might also have enough clearance to use 65mm stroke length. I do think older has enough clearance only for 60mm which I have.

That seems to be new DHX2 with smaller reservoir. I guess I need to upgrade to be able to run bigger water bottle:LOL:

I’m not sure if X2 fits at all to Rail due to OD of air spring cannister. There are not much space between shock and seat tube.

Also Santa Cruz models wont fit due to lower bearing. Lower eye needs to have bushing

I had also MRP Ribbon Coil, but never tried it on my Rail. Simply was never happy with the Ribbon damper on ealier bikes and ended up to sell it. On my Rail I have changed the stock Yari damper to Charger 2.1 RC2 damper and also upgraded to SKF seals. Now it's basically Lyrik Ultimate with EMTB...

I have normal Lyrik on my Nomad and compared to that Rail's Yari chassis also has different lower legs. Biggest difference is length so changing fork to standard you will alter the geo of the bike.

Out from those three I would do the same. Super Deluxe with megneg. Or then coil.

I have Fox DHX2 fitted on Rail 7. See: Trek Rail with Fox DHX2 coil - EMTB Forums Fits if your frame is Large or bigger. I had stock bike loaner during my battery drop warranty repair and rode it 4-5 times. I had forgotten how much stock shock sucks.

My bike did exactly the same and is now on dealer for warranty repair. They replace the battery lock and few other parts + battery cover. Luckily battery survived.

Mine was also loose (Rail 7). Added Loctite when tightening.

It was headset bearings. There was corrosion between frame and bearings. It’s terribly bad sealed design:eek:

I’ve never had creaks coming from headset bearings before. Based on my experience it’s very difficult to locate the origin of creak on aluminium frames. Sound typically resonates on frame and can come from anywhere on main triangle. I just proceeded by going through the usual places.

My Rail 7 started creaking. Sound comes somewhere around headtube, I have already greased all usual suspects like pedals, linkage, spring and dropper/seat tube junction. Same with the battery, all contact points are greased. I suspect Lyrik or something inside the frame close to headtube. Anyone...

I did not measure this, but enough. Mine is Large frame, smaller frames might not have enough space for DHX2. Lower spring seat hitting the downtube is the most problematic measure. In smaller frames that is the area where it might get too tight.

I don’t think there are different DHX2 tunes if you just buy a shock. Same year models will come with the same tune and you just fine tune it with clickers. If it is taken from a bike some manufacturers get special tunes from Fox. Mine is off the shelf 2018 DHX2 from Tftuned. I’m 80kg’s and run...
