Scott Ransom Suspension issue

Peterbarbour

I have a Scott Ransom 40 and have just found the source of a nasty clunky sound. I have play in the main pivot just above the bottom bracket. The issue is i have no idea how to fix this one. There are pinch clamps, which fix the swing arm to the axle (these are tight), but I see no way to tighten up the actual axle which presumably sits on bearings within the frame.

Hope that description wasnt too vague. If anyone knows how i can get rid of this play i would be very grateful!

Cheers,

TBH it will be back to the shop time. scott generally have a press fit axle on the main pivot.

I agree with nick - definately a shop job, any play in the pivots needs to be sorted asap or it will have a knock on effect elsewhere ie welds failing, frame snapping etc... http://www.bikeradar.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12542406

how long ago did you buy it? i would assume that should be sorted free of charge if less than say 6 months old?
