I've seen a lot worse with no problems. As long as there is no crack I would leave it alone and ride it!

If you feel the need to get rid of the sharp bits, just knock the tips off them, don't sand/file deep at all.

I came through a rock garden today and my chain stay got scraped along a rock pretty hard. The aluminium is a bit gouged as pictured, couple of sharp bits. Should I be worried about this? Should I sand / grind it smooth?

I'd say you're good. I obliterated my seatstay on my wilson last year(ordered a new seat stay this spring) but nonetheless i rode my wilson for a ton of park days with a chunk of the carbon missing, safe? prolly not. but it held up. If it reallly bothers you, you could probably sand it down and paint it, or replace it. But i think you're fine, gives thebike some character too Big Grin

It depends which one. It’s written on the bearing cover.

its a mostly custom build that started as a gx eagle build which has since been replaced with x0 and fox suspension and all the works been carried out by local shop

I had the same bike, now the 29”. They weren’t noisy. Shock, fork, headset, cable routes in frame, chain noise (esp with flogged sram derailleurs) all likely culprits.

Also, check the drop out pivots. The frame comes with a tool but you can use a wrench and Allen key. They can work a little loose.

I've seen that happening before because of two things. First when the Shock hardware wasn't appropriate (wrong sizing) and/or the DU bushing was worn out and secondly when the lower shock bolt (the one under the cable guide) wasn't tight enough. Go on Devinci website, archive and choose your model in 2018 and you'll have the owner manual with all the torque specs.
