quick question for everyone on the nomad mk2. i brought my bike into work today, and this big german dude wanted to try my bike out (i'm 6' and 155 lbs, and have the RP23 and fox 34 that comes w/ the R-AM kit set to my weight).
the shock was locked out, but he compressed it several times, and it sounded like something was binding loudly (a sound i've never heard before in the 2 years i've owned the bike). i thought that the RP23 has a blow off, but now when i compress the suspension, i hear a click and feel a shudder in the shock. it's not the seat, i've tried compressing the bike from the frame only, and i still hear the loud click, and also feel it in the shock body.
i checked the bolts at all the upper pivots and the shock mounts, and everything seems snugged up tight. i don't think its bushing wear, because i usually notice a bit of play when picking up the bike from the seat---in thhis case, there is no play and everything seems solid.
any thoughts on what it could be? thanks in advance--i might take it to my LBS tmrw.
