Question
jack.gilbert724
So I have been having some odd sounds coming from my slash and cant really tell what it could be. I think there is a knocking sound coming from the re:aktiv thru shaft shock. I had taken the shock off the bike, pivots were all good, which leads be to think its the shock. I also think there is some bad cable rattle in the main frame. If anyone has had these problems and knows how to fix them let me know.

Few thoughts...

1) Yes, there is likely a lot of cable knock inside the frame. There are a few solutions to this, one involving window lining foam (foam strips) and some strategically placed electrical tape to keep the cables from sliding around.

2) Honestly, that shock is garbage. I don't say that lightly. Trek kind of blew it on that one. Any shock will hold up better.

I also have the same knocking sound from my shock and to be fair, up until now i actually rate the shock. Again as the other guy say, if anyone resolves the issue please let us know and if it's an easy fix?

The problem for mine was a broken piece inside of the shock. Seems pretty common for the shock on the bike. I would recommend sending it to rockshox and take advantage of the warranty, depending on how old the shock is.
