[Closed] Rockshox Sektor coil Dual position - knocking on compression(?) from brand new

I've not even fitted the forks yet. I thought I'd compress the forks on the carpet to get an idea on how the DPC works. Anyway mid-compression the forks 'knock' (no lateral play) just a single distinctive knock.

I shipped the forks from Germany so it'd be a PITA to send back.

What could this be? Not enough oil in lowers? Shrink wrap needed around spring?

Any experiences on this fork with this sound?

Knock, on spring probably, bit of grease, or we can prep. them if you'd like a Dual flow rebound unit put in and tuned ๐Ÿ˜‰

I take it the forks are a full Susser?

If so go really niche and fit a rigid fork. Rigid fork with sprung back-end, now that's properly niche.

This really is rather funny. Sorry Hora.

From what I have heard about them the spring does knock when compressed. Do they not have the plastic sleeve that U-Turns have?
