Cheers Ollie, I actually got some of those but was worried the frame was too thick to wrap them round - will have a go this weekend.

I am using the non- debonair monarch plus m/m with 4 volume spacers at 170 psi , i am 76 kg so i get about 30% sag, and is just right, fully open.

Sounds like I need more spacers for sure.

any big guys(200+ lbs) notice they needed to add air to their rear shock almost every ride?

i didnt do the "frame fix" right away and im worried i f'ed up my shock.

lost almost 100 psi during a ride last night.

MOst likely a problem with the shock, and not due to being heavy. Remove the shock and put it in a bucket of water (or some soapy water), and check for any leaks. It may come from the main seals, but sometimes it's just the schrader valve's core that gets a bit loose and very slowly leaks (and using the bike increases in internal presure which increases the amount of air leaking)

Had this issue with my BOS shock loosing 100psi on a 50 second run, its either the seals, leaky valve or what I found out was when I bottomed out air would leak because the seal protruded over the bottom of the stanchion
Basically get it serviced/warranty and it'll be golden

Anyone experience cable housing squeaking near the headtube housing port? My dropper housing also exits that port, which I reckon is causing the squeaking. Anyone have tips to get rid of the squeaking?

Thats the cable running against the head tube

My v3 came with some plastic protector installed that stopped the squeaking (i removed it and it started squeaking so...)

some tape or something would work i think, bit of a hack but if it works..

Exactly. I ignored it for quite a while, got nice 2 polished dents on the headtube. Wrapped some helitape around it, solved.

Will any coil shocks fit the Meta SX?

And what piggy back air shocks actually fit?

Do you just need to dremel the rear stay as stated to fit piggy back shocks or is that just to get a Debonair to fit?

mine doesn't "fit" with the right stays.....

had to dremel/grind it to not get it to interfere and it still hits a full bump.

Unfortunately not.

Other than the Debonair and Fox CTD, I'm not sure. However, others have sworn by the CCDB Inline. But in my personal opinion the only one you want is the Debonair, having ridden all 3.

Depends on what year frame it is. I have the 2015 Meta SX with Debonair and it doesn't foul.

I have a 2014 frame, it has had some new stays under warranty last year so i don't know if its the revised versions from 2015.

I don't really want a Debonair as such I was just curious what shocks would fit & if there was a list of what people had tried?

I'd like a coil ideally but I imagine this is out of the question
