This is now officially doing my head in. The bike rattles when being pushed over rough stuff. There's no play in any of the pivots (I've checked each one in turn) aside from a small bit of side-to-side in the main pivot which feels more like flex than anything else.
When there's weight on the saddle it's fine but unweight it and push it off and its sounds like un-damped movement is happening. Is this a cause of running the 50%ish sag recommended by Kona or the 5th element top-out knock I've had mentioned to me?
It doesn't sound like chain slap and although there is a bit of play in the XT rear hub not enough to causes this amount of noise. Any suggestions before I pay for all the bearings and bushings to be replaced?
