Hi all,
I was riding some downhill at Aston Hill when the swingarm started making this disconcerting clunking noise over the rough stuff. I thought it also seemed to moving laterally more than usual.
First thought was bearings. So after a massive hassle getting them swapped over, involving a plasma cutter among other inappropriate tools, they have been replaced.
Went for a ride today, and the hollow clunking noise is still there 👿
Brake caliper is tight on, shock bolts are fine, as are bushes, so not too sure what it could be.
I also have replaced the dropout.
Can’t really think what it can be, I’d like to think it’s just a standard Orange noise, but I don’t remember it being present before.
The noise is only present when I’m riding over roots and small rocks, not when I stand on the pedals and jump up and down to compress the shock.
Many thanks!
