    check for play in the mounting kit. if none then it is an expensive fix on the shock.

    Hope i've found the problem, one of the chainstay pivots was undone by about 4 turns, it can't of been far off falling out!

    Also removed shock and checked and refitted.

    Will run a proper check tomorrow on a ride. Fingers crossed.

    Cheers

    that sounds like it could have been the problem.

    Well, that loose pivot was not the answer!
    Just got back from a ride and the shock is knocking as soon as it starts the return stoke after compressing.


    Anybody else has problems with these new shocks from Specialized?

    Shall be ringing Specialzed in the morning
