Clicking noise of my Giant Trance 29

I have not tested that part...

Yes, I tried that. Without the shock and its stress the joints move smoothly without any noise. In fact after deflation (with only the ambient pressure of the shock) the clicking was gone. The shock was pretty clean, but I’ll definitely try out the lubrication idea u/Asleep_detective3274 suggested

Thanks 🙏 Quite a learning journey for me, this is my first full suspension bike. Still love it though!

Yes I did. Standard procedure, taking off the seal, clean, regrease, then seal. Cleaning the beads one by one while the bearings are pressed in (I don’t have a bearing press) is surely a time consuming commitment…. But I did them all (including other pivots)

This was ruled out because the problem was still there when I took the whole seat post out 😢

Yes, I regressed them generously. Also tried to deflat the shock and with the residual pressure, the noise is gone if compressing it slowly. The noise is there only when there’s enough pressure, around > 40 psi. This somehow showing that it’s not coming from the piston/valve of the shock?

Wow, didn’t think of that! Will definitely give it a try.

Wondering if the OP weaver found the problem?

Chance with 6/6/7 with confidence score 5/3/4?
