Hysteresis caning. Puts the Damping in BDSM.Why would You hit Your arm with a damper shaft during the ride?
it still rattles with the bolt threaded unless i thread it until it bottoms on the needle, which can't happen when fully assembled because lowers.Anyway, as You removed the bottom bolt from it, the rebound needle rattles against the damper shaft inner walls.

i can hear it when i ride. yes i ride with the bottom bolt installed and tightened to spec.
before i took everything apart i could make it rattle by hitting the lowers with the base of my hand.
Have you tried hitting yourself away from the bike/part to make sure it's not you?it still rattles with the bolt threaded unless i thread it until it bottoms on the needle, which can't happen when fully assembled because lowers.

A classic example of not enough shims...
What about filing it down?Could also be fixed with generous amounts of epoxy.
I've only got 2 arms. I'd prefer to keep them both as OEM parts.What about filing it down?
everything rattles.If it rattles when you tap your arm, try a full swing at your balls and report back.
Expandable foam does a great job of silencing noises. Consider using it instead of oil.
so it went from heavy to literal boat anchor?I filled up a monocoque 2004 norco shore with this.
Can confirm, quieted things down.
The high expansion stuff is .06 lbs/cubic foot. I wouldn't expect a bike frame to have even close to 1 ft^3 of volume.so it went from heavy to literal boat anchor?
you clearly aren't familiar with a monocoque norco shore.The high expansion stuff is .5 lbs/cubic foot. I wouldn't expect a bike frame to have even close to 1 ft^3 of volume.

If you think thisGood lord, my eyes.
Do not google.
they took all the bad parts of a spesh big hit and foes DHS mono and made it into a single abomination. that takes skill. or meth. probably meth.If you think this
is bad......
There's a whole world of pre 2004 Norco that would assplode your head
I do like the saddle angle on this though. You know. For climbing. Like chris porter's zipcodemobile
they didn't limit the insanity to the freeride world either:You know I don't like hitting you baby but you leave me no choice
I bet you keep a carton of spoiled milk in the fridge for the occasional whiff.You know I don't like hitting you baby but you leave me no choice
Well, the thread at the rebound needle end should hold it together... My suggestion would be taking the whole unit apart and checking it the rebound needle thread is not stripped (or if the needle is not unscrewed totally) or the o-ring is not damaged. While assembling it, put a lot of grease between the shaft and the needle too. 1 more thing that comes to my mind is, that maybe You ride without the rebound knob installed? It makes the needle centered, therefore should help with the rattling.it still rattles with the bolt threaded unless i thread it until it bottoms on the needle, which can't happen when fully assembled because lowers.

I always thought the frame noise was a feature to cover the rider's whining about how much his bike sucks.I filled up a monocoque 2004 norco shore with this.

And hucking to flat? Rectilinear riding was all the rage.That bike was actually pretty good (the one I had, not any of that boxy crap). Just flexy as shit because Canadians didn't turn back then. Locking up brakes and running into trees was all the rage in America's hat. As well documented in any video from the period.
