Hi,

Was out on teh bike yesterday and became very aware of a 'clicking' noise coming from around my rear shock when it loads and unloads. Hard to be precise if it is the shock or the pivots, but a definate click.

Shock is described on spec as:

Fox Triad, custom on-the-fly 3-position switch 1) lock out 2) Open 3) ProPedal pedal assisting damping, rebound adjust, 7.875x1.9 inch, integrated cartridge bearing shock mount

Any ideas??

    grab hold and move it and feel where the play is.

    check the mounting hardware first.

    all seems solid and in place; nothing un-toward

    Could be anything really. Clicks, squeeks and rattles transmit through the frame quite well so its hard to locate.

    Id be checking the shock bushes first, but also look at things like the saddle connection to the post. Mine was a little loose a while back and made a clicking noise
