Anyone out there had issues with a loud knocking noise on harsh fast trails that doesn't go away with replacement bushes, LBS seems to think its the damper self destructing, been back to TFTuned times now but is now out of warranty. Fed up MUCHLY!!

Nope, mine was fine. Silent, effective.

Didn't even make that squishy noise that the RP23 did when the climb settig was engaged.

Sounds like it may need some attention.

This is my issue though, should it Need some attention, my previous bike with RP23 ran faultless for 5 years just with 12 month services. Cane creek seems to be fine for a few months then it goes pop again, I don't mind paying premium prices if I get a premium product but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Is it a double barrel inline or standard double barrel air?

Try removing the rear mount bolts (if they thread into a pin) replace if you can with a "proper nut and bolt"

Mine did that, turned out to be a loose air shaft bolt, sent it to tftuned who charged me £65 for a strip and rebuild to fix it 🙁

If it's been back to TF tuned for this & if it's had new bushes I'd suggest trying new bolts as above.

Quite often, what sounds loud and feels rattly can be less than a rizla width of movement somewhere - it's a cheap starting point that can be ticked off, as are more new bushes and a very close inspection of the mounting areas to ensure there's no ovalisation of the holes etc.

Then, if none of this helps send it somewhere else for an inspection (I personally rate TF Tuned); In my experience Stendec are very good with Cane Creek.

I rate tf as well but Sprung suspension were going to get my dbair to service and upgrade next time round as they came highly recommended. Sold the bike before it needed doing though.

As did mine. It ran a lot better with the CCDB on it though.

Loose air shaft bolt is what my LBS reckon, and this is the fourth time. This is not what I would call a premium or performance product, if I did the same to my customers I'd be on the rock n roll now!

Funny you should say that, my CCDBAir was perfect until after the first service, it was only then that the air shaft came loose. Personally I think the issue is the servicer (you said that yours has been back to them) rather than the product itself.
