Anyone see this? ( Azonic B52 )

Going by just the picture sent in, it is hard to tell the proper length and stroke shock is being used.
i have a gran mal... my tire scrubs on the seat tube when the shock is fully compressed, and that's in the 8.75" setting. not that big of a deal, but it happens.

Does it hit hard enough to stop the wheel? That could cause a big crash
Apparently, my Ventana El Cuervo does this as well. It doesnt hit hard enough for me to notice, but there are definite tire rub marks on the seat tube.
Lots of frames have done that over the years. It's usually not noticable.
which size Cuervo do you have? what shock?
I had a freind that had an Azonic. He called them to tell them of the problem, and was at first told that he needed a stiffer spring. When he didn't buy that, they told him to return it so they could put a bumper on the shock and limit the travel. Both pretty lousy solutions.
Large w/a Roco WC. I dont even notice it when it happens, so its not a problem at all.
there is a ****ty haro that has that problem. it blows. it seems like a good idea to throw a bumper in it but then the shock isnt dampened properly. they really should move the seat tube up. its not that hard. (if u are a big company)
well, since they buy it out of a catalogue and re-sticker it, i'd assume they won't do anything about it....
not true, the bumper fix is just for the older models. the 08 has been redisigned. the seat tube now has a slight bend in it to correct this problem.
I suspect he already bought a framenot true, the bumper fix is just for the older models. the 08 has been redisigned. the seat tube now has a slight bend in it to correct this problem.
my morewood suffers from a little tire and seatpost rub depending on what tire i run on the back. Its nothing major and wouldn't stop me buying the bike. The thing that would put me off the b52 is the only 2 people i know who have them have had problems with snapping the rocco shocks.
This is not exactly a new issue... M-1's (Mediums & especially Smalls) would buzz the seat tube when running larger tires. Personally, this never bothered me and became a non-issue when I started running smaller tires in a quest for weight savings and less rolling resistance...
