Thanks, good idea will also give that a try.

Awesome, thank you. I will give it a try, it's been bothering me for ages but now feeling more optimistic

What a great post, having this issue now with my exe and I live in australia. I see this post is older, are you still able to access the correct bolt? If so I'd be keen to purchase.

I also found this which dives into it a bit more, seems like a common issue...https://www.emtbforums.com/threads/trek-fuel-exe-megathread.29784/post-556361

great idea, will give that a go, how much tape did you use, and was it all the way along the bolt? like to give this a try before trying to get custom bolt, so if you have any more details that would be amazing with thanks:)

Yes, I am running that bolt. I had not heard of this being the noise issue before but it seems like it's common. thanks for raising it, gives me a new angle to investigate :-)

So, i've had this bike for 3 years. It's been overall great. I've had 2 motor changes and a battery replaced, but all under warranty and Trek have been great with that. As you can see I look after it, but the creaking, actually more clicking (rapid) when going over certain features is crazy...

It's a Fox Float DHX 1024018-0038-T with a 475 pound factory coil. The orange coils are much lighter than the standard black version. gives around the same travel as the air shock. You'll need some additional hardware for the shock to be fitted.

I too got the same ones and have ridden them for around 10 hours. I was surprised how good they felt. Like you said, better on body mechanics - especially on my knees (I am only 5'10). Climbing is easier, especially when you need to get power down, jumping is also better - more pop (even with me...

Howdy, I've been trying to silence my internal cables from rattling up around the front end of the bike, near the head set- geez they are noisy. Anyone else had a similar issue and what was you solution? thanks Jack

Thanks for this, will check it out :-)

Looking at upgrading my headset on my 9.7 exe 2023. Has anyone done this, and what did you upgrade to? Results? thanks in advance. Also, what specs too please. thanks Jack.

thanks @wheelsx2 i've changed the youtube setting now so you can see/hear/. here it is > Creaking bike

:(I've had clicking/creaking on my exe for a few weeks. I had thought it was the bearings, and so did a full bearing replacement on the suspension. But it still persists and so it was not the bearings...All points are torqued correctly including 50nm for the lock ring. Here's the youtube link...

Thanks so much, I'll give that a go! Fingers crossed.
