Are there any marks along the shaft? Grit or sand could have found its way in and that will give you the vibrating feeling.

i think that is air inside the main shaft, the sound is the air though the main piston, somehow, that air(if it's new maybe it is nitrogen) passed throught the floating piston o'ring into the chamber and the only solution is to disassemble the shock, put new oil in it and change the high compression piston o'ring, pressurize the floating piston chamber between 200-250psi and you´re good to go.

Hello mates, does anyone know the chain growth on a 2012 Nukeproof Mega [Small if that changes anything]???
Need it because I plan on installing a Hope 40T-Rex and I have a Sram X0 short cage RD...I need 25mm or less Chain Growth!
Thanks alot!!!

Pretty sure it won't work. The small cage Zee on my TR didn't have enough capacity to take up the slack even with an 11-36 cassette.

I have a large 2011 Mega. Same frame just different graphics. I am running Zee mech with 40 t t-Rex and the one up components rad r cage. It works perfectly well for me. Will get a photo soon.

I find this works best. Did it without the one up components rad r cage first and. Han too slack in high gear. Growth seems ok to me.

So, with the shock completely compressed and the chain on the 40T, is the zee fine? Anyone knows if an XO medium will work?

To get your gears working at optimum I set my chain length so the chain is tight before full compression on the largest rear sprocket, realistically you won't be in 1st when descending it's not something I ever do.

It is fine with the Rad r cage from one up components. I can't remember how it was without that. Think it would be a risk but how likely are you gonna be in 1st on a full compression hit?

It's nearly impossible, but you never know Smile Anyway, thank you all so much for the info!

Just in case it's not obvious, the One Up cage is not a short cage. It replaces the short cage of the Zee with a longer one.

What would you upgrade on a 2014 mega am pro. Only changes so far are grips a 32t hope narrow wide ring and tubeless. Want to try and make the bike more uphill friendly but keep its awesome down hill capability.
