Rock Shox noise

It was just a post in jest, mainly from the people speaking to mechanics about the weird noise their car makes, at which point when the mechanic inspects the car or drives with the person, the noose is of course not there.

 

I’ll try and keep my attempts at humour to the few NCR topics that still float around here…

and here I was hoping you would grace us with a Squish squish slurp gurgle

I have this interesting sound that's developed on my Specialized Epic 2020.

To my understanding the shock is new. 

Complete Cyclists have said I should bring it in and they'll fix it but I'm quite curious if anyone know what the issue could actually be here?

Sounds normal to me

Blown damper. Either service or warranty, depending on how old it is and service history.

 

Some of these shocks had an issue with the main damper shaft seal sucking in air due to flex, if it's one of the affected ones they'll replace mahala.

no these can actually puncture lol

 

edit: OT sorry 

 

I've punctured a pair of regular AirMax and VaporMax.

LOL.   

 

On topic:  send it for a service, a seal or shim is ******.  Oil also degrades over time.

Offline for a few weeks and come back to thread about shoes having punctures. ????

in other news, thanks everyone, complete cyclists took it in and serviced it.  Good as new.

I just fitted a rockshox yari, rc charger.

On the slightly bigger hits it makes a squish noise. 

Played around with rebound , 3 clicks up n then 3 clicks down from midpoint to check if changes but sound remains.

Fork was brand new, but I had the springs changed out to slightly smaller. 

Fork works, noise just irritating

Higher end forks are notorious for squelcy sounds under rebound when taking big hits. Ohlins are notorious for this.

 

Take a video and try to get in contact with Devon at cape cycles and see what he says.

One would expect the lower end forks to have that issue, eish.

Will attach the gopro,  hopefully can capture the squishy noises.

More concerned if it's a thing to worry about, seals broken etc.

Its down to how complex the rebound circuits are

But it might be an issue so get a recording asap and get it to the thecnical guy at cape cycles not here
