Bugger! When do you hear the rattle? Stationary, Motor off/on, uphill/ downhill, peddling, coasting? Could be one loose bolt or a misplaced cable, so easy to miss something. You might need a rebuild
Usually when cruising over fire roads. I'm 99% its cables in the top tube. Argh, wish they would install some kinda foam material to stop this stupid slap!Bugger! When do you hear the rattle?

You could try shove in that foam they put in between factory slab walls/expansion joinsUsually when cruising over fire roads. I'm 99% its cables in the top tube. Argh, wish they would install some kinda foam material to stop this stupid slap!
I still cant get rid of this annoying rattle though, stuffed the top tube with more bubblewrap today and its still there!
Super helpful thank you!Used adhesive felt between the motor cover and the motor, I realized that the noise was coming from that point by removing the battery and knocking on the cover.
I split the two engine covers (c) and put the adhesive felt because they banged on the engine, there was some space in the front towards the battery now I no longer have the noise

I thought about that but even a used set is hard to find. I also looked to see if some of the other Rockshox models with 29 lowers might work but although the tube diameter is the same the spacing between the tubes looks wider on the Boxxer and there are probably other differences too.Same here , not in stock til March 23 so bought at used zeb 29 of eBay and swapped the lowers !
Super excited to hear your thoughts on it
How did you get the custom shock made?I ran a custom 242/70 Ohlins shock with Levo shock extension (12mm shorter than stock) no clearance issues with 29er/2.6 and 200mm rear.
Rob when will we see a YouTube video on this sweet bike?
I sent it to the Ohlins dealer here in Aus.How did you get the custom shock made?
Did you get the shock internals tuned for your rider weight and riding style?Strangely I’m slower on most DH tracks on the EXT coil on my test today. Only 2-5 seconds but still slower. I think I’m running too much sag and balance is a bit off.
Going to try a 525lb spring as soon as it arrives and then some back to back with the X2
Please let us know your handling impressions with the fox 38 compared to both the stock Boxxer and the Zeb if possible please.
Any update on this build and how you are liking this build compared to the others you have ridden? Super interesting in a setup like this as my next bike. Really nice build…Today I went for a ride and put back the X2 instead of the E-Storia.
The X2 is significantly faster than my current EXT e-Storia, BUT, I need to try a heavier spring... The e-Storia is super comfortable and confidence inspiring, but the X2 stands up a lot more in the mid stroke offering a lot more support.
