Giant Dropper post issue on brand new bike (Giant Trance X 29er)

New bike turned up yesterday - took it for a ride to Llandegla this morning and noticed a rattle in the frame when the dropper post is fully extended and I’m not sitting on it. It sounds like the metal is hitting something and is more of a vibration.

When the seat is dropped - there are no issues, and when the seat is fully extended and I’m sitting on it there are no issues. Only when I stand up with the dropper fully extended I can hear it knocking in the frame.

Any ideas? Iv contacted the bike shop I bought it from and they can have a look Monday just wondered if it was something simple.

pretty certain it’s a Giant Contact switch dropper

Cable knocking in the frame? Try pushing a bit of the outer into the frame to give it more slack.

Whatever you do, don’t try to fix it yourself otherwise you’ll void your warranty on the whole bike! And you can forget about customising it with new tyres!
