Got a rebound issue with my Fox Float evol shock. The rebound knob just spins when you turn it counter-clockwise (faster rebound), and there are only six or seven 'clicks' going back the other way (manual says there should be 11). If you leave it in this free-spinning position, there is a noticeable clunk about a third of the way through the travel. Moving it a couple of clicks makes it compress smoothly again.

Clearly something's come adrift somewhere - is this something anyone else has encountered/fixed?

It's still within warranty.

If under warranty, send it away. Not sure what your dilemma is here, if you go poking about inside they might not honour the warranty.

I am pretty resigned to warranty, just checking in case there was something simple I'd overlooked which would save me losing the bike for a few weeks, that's all.

I'm not going to dig around in it, that's for sure!

As a follow up to this, good service from Silverfish to report - sent it on Saturday afternoon, turned up 10 minutes ago with an 'anti-clunk' assembly fitted, whatever that is!

Thanks to Storm Ciara, didn't even miss a ride!

It means they've attached the rebound assembly back onto the shaft properly 😉
