Both sides on mine will move. If I try to tighten the female bolt with a hex key (nothing in the male bolt), I can get the female and the male bolt to move together--which seems wrong to me. Note this is after they've been lock-tighted and torqued to spec. The link-to-yoke attachment is a...
This is my drive-side seat-stay with the female pivot bolt in place. The end of the female bolt is barely shy of the counter-bore for the male pivot bolt.
Can someone do me a favor...put a hex key into the seat-stay to link female-pivot-bolt, try to "tighten" it, and see if they can get it and the male pivot bolt on the inside to rotate inside the seat-stay? Not actually tighten any more but rotate as "one assembly". Mine will move---both...
Thanks. I retorqued all but the one behind the driveside chainstay without success already... didn't want to pull apart if I didn't have too...but will do that to regrease. Mine is an alloy too.
LBS took it apart again. Said they could see one small, shiny, worn area on the head of the male pivot bolt for the seat-stay-to-link pivot on the drive side. Pretty sure that's the spot because when it's making noise, you can fee it at that pivot. And loosening that one bolt makes the noise go...
Took to LBS. They took the seat-stay linkage apart...said everything was clean and looked brand new. Put back together and couldn't recreate sound. Said to ride it and see if it came back...it did after 1 mile of trail riding. Back at the shop again. They want to talk to Specialized. Fk.
230 miles and this knock sound starts at the seat-stay to link pivot. The bolts are/were all tight. I can recreate it by grabbing the front brake with my left hand and the top of the rear tire with my right hand and moving the tire side-to-side. I confirmed it's that's the problem spot by...
2022 Turbo Levo Comp Alloy, less than a month old and less than 100 miles and the Fox Float X got noisy and the lockout stopped working. Off to Fox, hope they fix it soon.
