I've moved to AXS as well, put bubble wrap in place down the top tube and under the cables although I may jam some more down there now you have said that. Seems a real shame to remove it. What do you do when you rip off a derailleur and cant get a replacement for 3 months and the cable routing...
I had a read of that thread. Absolute joke. Spesh have really dropped a bollock haven't they.
Be interesting to ride the bike with the new headset in place. Ill try get out again soon and ill keep reporting back
The pick and mix stuff. I bought from SJS cycles
3 Hope Headset Shim - Silver - 0.4mm - HS127 (sure the FSA one would be fine)
1 Hope 07 Upper Taper Ring - Silver - HS124S
1 Hope 07 Top Cover - Black - HS126N
1 Hope 1 1/2" Headset Crown Race - Silver - HS137S
1 Hope 07 Top Seal -...
Further testing sorry
Rode without the battery. Rattle still there
Fox 38s are making a knocking noise. See video. Is this normal? (Need to point out that the above rattle is still there even when I rode with the Pikes)

Replaced the entire...
Seems I'm not the only one with 38 issues
I had mine apart today and there is obvious wear on one of the pad things (what are they called please? Sit below inside the lowers below the wipers and the foam rings)
Like the fork is out of alignment or something. Would explain the stiction
I also...
More rattle hunting updates (just in case it helps anyone not looking for a response)
Pikes fitted and went for a ride. Huge improvement (although 27.5 feels just like my old stumpjumper did) but still a small rattle over roots and rough chatter. This has improved since last time
I am...
It doesn't sound like the csu snap. May well just be stiction from the air shaft or something. Does not sound right though
FSA bearing from my levo after 1 month attached. Fused to the bearing cup.
Further testing for my headset fiasco.
Doesn't have any movement with the middle/normal headset cup (tape removed). So this angled headset is an issue for me
Ordered a whole hope headset to go in I'll see if I can get anywhere with that. I can probably live with the middle headset
Hope this...
Yeah tried that too all good
Only thing I haven't tried is a different crown race. I now have hope upper and lower bearings with the original FSA crown and compression but the fsa bearings still have that play. Needs the electrical tape as a shim to snug that bearing cup in place.
Cheers Chris
The workaround is the only way I can get the headset movement to stop that I can see.
Two forks now. The Pikes with a star nut and the 38s with the headset tool, neither seem to have a problem compressing the bearings. I have tried different bolts for the swat tool too as I have...
You're right
Just can't work out where else the play would be coming from
My stumper had play in the headset like that but wouldnt tighten up without play in the headset and I got a load of chatter coming through. Only way I ever stopped it was by jamming some card between the bearing and the...
Jamo stick with the MT7s. They take some time to get used to I think. Oddly I think they sit between a sram and a shimano in terms of lever feel. If you over extend the standard levers half a turn they work like a shimano though. Require careful bleeding
Still hunting the knocking for those...
Rattle improved greatly but still there after putting tape round the battery.
Going to try shim any movement in the headset and check for any loose cables (again)
Maybe it is the cable routing now I've got axs... I don't want to remove it for obvious reasons.
I put the gorilla tape (3 wide strips to be exact) around the battery where the spacer should be and there doesn't feel to me like there is any of that chatter or play now...
Ride tomorrow night hopefully. So I'll let you know if that chatter is there
Again, it's not a rattle like something is...
Don't think I have the spacer..... S4
Excuse the mess on the battery. I didnt know I needed to back the screws off on the water bottle to remove the battery when I first got it.
With the battery out it does feel like that chatter is gone when I drop the front end on the floor gently.
Possible...
The rattle I have feels heavier than that to me
Going to check the battery spacer thing.
No way is it cable routing, to me it feels like vibrations caused by a loose headset plus the noise to go with it. Maybe the battery is at fault...
Im chasing the same rattle as you all I think
Off the back of this have we considered the headset to be the culprit?
Trying to sort some very minor play in mine and I'm convinced that's what the rattle is. It also feels quite chattery to me none of this ultra plush fox 38 people speak about...
