I am struggling with a dt Swiss 232 rear shock in the lcfs918 (new model with trunnion mount)
The dt Swiss bushing kit m8*39.9 results in play with clunk noise when i lift the bike.
Anyone has experience of tips, combining the 232 with lcfs918?

Can you narrow down if the noise is coming from the trunnion or the eyelet side of the shock?

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.

It doesn't fit on the FM1002, which has the same suspension design. The non-trunnion side that sticks up is too big and hits the frame on the seat tube.

From Carbonda:



Anyone actually try this shock (obviously a trunnion style, instead of pictured)?

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.

No structural damage. Just a small imprint where the shock  body would hit

Oy.... I just checked and it is indeed hitting in that spot. When I asked, last November during purchase, they told me that if the shock was 185x55 it would fit. The website didn't detail that the x2 will not fit at the time either

Should have done my due diligence to double check the fit after I put pressure in the shock (installed it with the shock aired down).

There's no way these large diameter shocks will fit unless the pivot is re-designed to be a little longer.

It's a shame really,... it's an enduro frame that can't take any enduro shocks.

Yup. That is a Fox x2. It fits within the frame and has about 2-4mm of space on the sides. The back sticks out a bit (<1mm) so the cover, for the rear tire, does not fit. I intend to remove some material on the cover so that I can re-install it.

Wow.. those are pretty bad.

That's worse than the rear seat stay pivots of my LCFS947 when it first arrived. It looked like someone blindly took a dremel tool to shave off a few mm's...
Good thing is that LightCarbon made it right and sent me a new piece, even though I had to pay for shipping. Hopefully they will do the right thing and get you covered, completely.
