Squeaking noise: for the record: After doing the bushing service with anti-seize about 4–5 times, the last time I tried the Santa Cruz method using green Loctite (638). It lasted about 2300 km, then the creaking started. But not the typical kind that begins with ticking on the drive...

@jever98 Thanks mate :) My issue is the press fit of the opposite side of the axle thread which is fixing the axle to the chainstay by spreading the slotted axle head by screwing in the nut. Axle or chainstay is worn at that contact area. I already ordered a new axle to check that first, if...

I couldn‘t wait the curing time and just checked with medium strength loctite at that head pivot axle area —> play is gone. So looks like my axle/ chain stay is also worn 😩 Are your relays play free at this area without loctite?

Hey guys, i need your help :) I have some play on the non drive side (left side) on my main pivot. It‘s not the bearing, since i replaced them and the bearing seat is tight and snug. I think it‘s the chainstay bore „floating“ on the main pivot axle head: Is it normal that these 2 have some...

transition agreed to send a new seat stay. Maybe it would be better to use retaining compound loctite 641 (mid strength) or 603 (high strength, specialized is using it) instead of grease when replacing the besrings to avoid movement in the seats which will cause a loose seat finally. Anyway...

Update: I just disassembeled the chainstay pivot and inspected everything. I finally found the root cause for the play. It‘s not the bearings developing play, it‘s the bearing seat of the frame which is too loose :( i can press through the bearing just with my fingers. Also the drive side pivot...

Spacers arrived, looks good so far. I will fit them with new bearings in the next days.

Yes, side to side play on the drive side chain stay bearings (next to the derailleur)only. Manifesting in a kind of knocking sound while descending, you can also feel it when wiggling hardly on the rear wheel while holding the pivot joint with your thumb and index finger. @nickf Unfortunately...

Good timing to ask. Just returned from some days riding in finale ligure. And Unfortunately the Elvedes bearing already developed play after ~500km of riding 😑 So looks like 2 single bearings hold up better then 1 double row. The pairs of bearings before all developed play also. Next I will try...

I have about 7300km on my relay. The chainstay bearings drive side just developed play the 3rd time now. (Other bearings have been play free, but I‘m about to swap them also) Anyone experienced the same? The chainstay is using 2 x 6802 bearings back to back. I made some research for longer...

The battery goes into deep sleep, you have to lift and drop the bike to turn it on. Maybe the latest fw update helps, maybe the battery has a not very sensitive movement dectection sensor. I also noticed this when switching from the 430 to the 480 battery

Agree, working since 1200km squeak free for me.

It is… Luckily i live near the the Fazua HQ and they took care very quickly, collected my bike and repaired in 1 day.

From my experiece the late 2023 and early 2024 models (serial 034, 041) holded up the best. These were F4, but according to Fazua the HW version code is just related to the different suppliers of the PCB and not to actual product revisions. Also had some G units which failed early on. I‘m at...

Yes only the slide bushings on one side. I did it 4 times already, it‘s possible to do without removing the cranks and bash ring / chain ring, but MUCH easier if you remove them, especially getting them in again. I also only remove the power cable and do the job wirh motor half way out
