What kind of rattle?
My Floats have developed a knock which I have diagnosed as the bushings wearing out. Yours could be the same. You probably wont need more than a bushing resize which is included in the £70 bill. However, if they are propper screwed then it will be an extra bit to replace them (about £30 I think).0 -
Apparently it is common for the springs to rattle on Fox forks, however they never used to rattle.
Dave at TF Shox phoned to explain this and suggestted that he can put more shrinkwrap/packing around the springs so to stop the rattle. Sounds abit of a bodge to me but thats what the 'experts' recommend.
Forks are now back and on the bike running a dream..plusher than ever.
Highly recommend the guys at TF Shocks, they were very forthcoming with advice & discussed my concerns, without just trying to rip the customer off!Don\'t crash.. then go faster!0 -
Most fork springs have a wrap around them from the factory stop them rubbing on the insides of the stanchions0
