    They are a year old but 2nd hand so they are in warranty but I’ve no receipt.
    Emailed SRAM service centre and got no reply (nice one)
    They are ok when just pedalling around but when your going for it the last thing you want to be hearing is the creaking and thinking the front end is going to snap off.
    Anyone know the price of a CSU?
    Cannot really sell them like this so I guess a CSU is my only option.
    Thoughts?

    Look up rsf suspension services on fb. He is waiting for my fox 32 to repress one stanchion in to cure a creak.

    Del if I take the front wheel out and flex the legs it creaks and clicks.
    Msg RSF now so will see what they say.

    My pikes did this and I thought it was the steerer but it turned out to be the cartridge had come a little loose, so I suggest to check the damper and air top caps are tight.

    KANE I’m going to check that. It’s only started since I’ve changed the air shaft

    I’ve had 2 sets of (new) Pikes, both developed this sort of creaking business quite early. I think I probably stress them more than some people do, doing endos and stalls and whatnot but apart from an annoying noise it doesn’t seem to affect them.

    Check the axle!! Mine was creaking 2 years ago as ago when new, turned out I’d done the axle up too tight.
