Fox 36 Performance with the QR axle. Only done 4 rides on them, totalling around 56 miles.
 
As you can hear in the video linked below, they're making an annoying rattle noise. I don't think it's the brake pads as it still does it with the front brake applied.
 
 
Axle is tight and the pinch bolt is torqued to spec.
 
It doesn't sound like bushing knock.
 
Any ideas?
 
Excuse the mess of the basement floor btw 😀

Solved it! The culprit was the rebound cap/cover! Could have sworn I'd nipped it up nice and tight but clearly not 😀

Lucky with that rattle!

I hadn't tightened something inside my damper properly when servicing it. 

One dead £400 grip 2 damper  😱

Solved with a £120 second hand grip damper and a kid mate to make sure I was put in properly this time.

Jeez! That's an expensive error, but lucky you found a 2nd hand one!
