My 2016 shock has developed a knocking when the level is set to min compression. Anyone else had this problem? It was a replacement shock for a cane creek about 4 months ago. When on min compression any big hits start with a knock. In mid or full compression the shock feels perfect.

Mine does it on fully open - doesn't affect it as far as I know just a bit annoying. What frame?

spec Enduro 29. Its a proper knock you can feel through the frame.

I had this, sent it back for warranty. Fishers said they've never heard of it before, and that it was definitely wrong.

I also spoke to Loco, and he said the same.

I was under the impression it is cavitation, as it goes away if you cycle it enough.

Send it back, warranty it.

Are you sure it's the shock? Do you have a clutch mech? Sounds wierd but I had the same issue, knocking through the frame on compression, and it turned out to be a clutch mech that needed stripping, greasing and adjusting (x9). Stopped the knocking.

As it only happens when the shock is in open mode, its not gonna be the clutch.
