[ocrider]

I rode aliso today and on my way back I went down that little drop thing on the single track on the side of the road pretty fast and after that my fork started like makeing this clicking noise, when ever it goes down. Does anyone have an in idea of what I did to it?? Thnx,

Sounds like you've been doing too many 5-foot hucks!!!

May sound like a dumb suggestion.....did you make sure that the lockout lever on your fork is completely off? SOmetimes they get moved over a bit and start to lockout but not always. This sometimes causes the clicking noises.

If that isn't it, take it by and let Tim take a look at it.

He has a RS Tora that came on his GF Cobia 29er that he got about 6 weeks ago.

are there issues with 29er forks?...if it's 6 weeks old maybe it's a warranty issue. seems like rs is better now that Sram bought them. maybe little drops on a 29er fork are too much for the fork, sounds like an xc fork a light duty stay on earth xc fork. i haven't seen a 888 29er

It makes the noise when the fork goes about 65 percent of the way down. I haven't noticed anything with the performance. I'm going to take it in and let Tim look at it. Mtnbikej, Do you know where you guys planning on riding on Sunday?

I think Sunday we are just going to take it easy. I don't have any plans to do a big ride this weekend. Might just do a couple of short rides. At most, maybe Blackstar to Motorway.

Bring your bike in ASAP, just in case it needs a part that has to be ordered so they can have it ready before VQ.
