Re: LCFS947 - 160mm 4-bar 27+/29
Quote from: SimonPeaime on July 12, 2021, 09:03:44 AM
When i lift the rear end of the bike up, i can feel there is a small amount of play in the rear linkage and a very small clunk noise can be heard. It is very small, but still there. I figured out like i said previously that the mounting bolt for the rear shock is a bit too small in diameter for the shock bushing, even though i am 100% i got the right size bushing kit. Does anyone else have that? Maybe it is a problem with my frame/hardware that came with it?

Cheers!

I have recently built up a medium size lcfs947 and encountered this play, at the lower shock mount, when lifting up the bike. I can actually feel/hear this play when descending rooty and rough downhills. Has anyone else encountered this and come up with a solution?

Re: LCFS947 - 160mm 4-bar 27+/29 Yikes... that sucks.
If you do get a new front triangle, the "Salsa Down Tube Protector Blackthorn and Cassidy Carbon - 1563" protector fits well

Re: LCFS947 - 160mm 4-bar 27+/29 Hmm... maybe I was too hasty in my judgement. Bolted down and up to air pressure it has about 1 mm of space from hitting the frame.

Re: LightCarbon 918? I've used zip ties on the cable housings, under the headset, to give them slack. Like you, I would get the cables binding when turning the handlebars.

Re: LightCarbon 918? I'm running AXS setup so I don't have much running through the headset. Only the shock lockout and rear brake is routed within the frame. That being said, YMMV.

Here is my housing routing:


Under the headset I have zip ties that stops the housing from being fed all the way out back to the top:


Another view- the zip tie stops provides enough slack, within the frame, to prevent binding when the handle bar is turned either way.

Re: LightCarbon 918? I just tried installing a XX SL transmission derailleur on my frame and it's NO GO. The bushing does not fit (opening diameter too small) and the the hanger physically cannot be placed in to the frame with the hanger removed. I'm guessing they did a change up of the hanger middle of production. If your dropout looks like mine, SRAM transmission will not work for your bike.
