Shann Spark 940

Thanks David. Will give it a go. Could the return mechanism be wrecked? Was looking to see if I could've over reached on the mechanism but since it has a stopper I've assumed this would be prevented

Hey guys, yes I'm referring to the shock not fork

Hi All I've discovered that when I shift from Climb to Traction to Downhill mode, the shock won't click into the final position (ie Downhill). If I pull lightly on the end of the cable it clicks into position so thought it might be grit, so gave it a good clean but the issue persists. Has anyone had this before? The cable is slack when this happens so don't think it's a cable tension issue. Any idea's? Thanks in advance

Spacer was below the stem...can't seem to post a pic in this reply

Thanks everyone for the feedback, insight and comments....very useful.

I honestly think you have a point. When I opened up the box the stem was already on so I'd not have seen any damage. Maybe the snap sound I heard was the stem coming lose under tension

Yes, exactly, at a loss as to how it really happened

Good point - will check in with Insurance

Beating it....gently has come to mind but being a brand new bike I'm cautious but it's excellent to hear that you've replaced steerers as some have said it's an out and out no-no....

That did come to mind I just need to get it good enough to have enough meat to be able to lock the handle bar onto

Good thinking... that may be a plan as it's not too far down

The number of people who've asked me how it happened makes me wonder if it should've happened at all. Left hand single track bend, two wheel drift and came down heavily on the left hand side of the bar, which was at 90 degree to the ground when I came down. I heard a snap sound but was never able to work out what had caused it. No the stem is in perfect nick (from what I can see). It is insured but need to check what level of cover

Yes, unfortunately so

Hi all, Am new to this forum and hope someone can advise me. I have a Scott Spark 940 (2015) which I wiped out on. Attached are some pics of the damage to the steering tube. The question I have is: Should I and can I replace the steering tube or would it be better to try and have the tube reshaped to round, somehow? (Tapered tube btw) Thank you Shann
