So I guess the online shop where iI ordered my bleed kit messed up. Now I've got a bottle of DOT4 instead of DOT5. I'm guessing I can go ahead and use it anyways since it says "only Dot5.1 and DOT4" on my Guides. Only wanted to do a small lever bleed or do I have to do a full bleed now?
Dot 5 is different from dot 5.1 and is not compatible with dot 4! See: https://www.epicbleedsolutions.com/resources/faq/difference-between-dot4-and-dot51-brake-fluid/
He doesn't have for 5 in anything. It's just a typo.
He stated that he bought dot 4 and he has guides. Guides are dot 4 and 5.1 compatible, as he stated.

Yeah sorry for the typo. It was meant to be 5.1.

I've seen the sidewall start to fail near the bead causing the tire to not run true. Warranty covers manufacturer defects. It's very difficult to warranty wear items such as tires, chains, brakes pads etc. If the tire came damaged or the damage occurred after only a few rides you might have a chance. In my ~7 years working at shops I've only ever successfully warrantied 3 tires.

I have a new (under a year old) Rockshox Revelation RC fork with 140 mm of travel. Recently the compression knob for the damper (on the top right side of the fork) started moving very slightly up and down within the first inch of the forks travel, resulting in a small clicking sound. Has anyone else experienced this?
If I put my finger on top of the compression adjustment knob and apply slight pressure to compress the fork I can feel the small vertical movement on my finger and the click goes away. I took the adjustment knob off and cleaned under it and checked to see if it was loose and found no issues. The fork feels fine performance wise and the different compression settings work when I adjust the compression.
The actual part of the damper that adjusts the compression (the part that slots into the adjuster knob top cap, visible when the top cap is removed) also moves very slightly up and down when the fork compresses, so that is definitely the source of the clicking and movement.
Is it normal for this part of the damper to move slightly up and down (the movement is hardly visible to the eye but you can feel it) when the fork is in use? I'd appreciate any insight or similar experiences because the I cant find any other examples online regarding the top adjustment knob of the damper having small vertical play. The bike shop looked at it and said it felt fine but the noise started out of nowhere on a relatively new fork (about 40 hours of trail riding).
Keep in mind that the X0 9-speed short cage derailleur is actually designed to wrap up to a 36t cassette cog when used with a single ring, so running it with a 28t cog will slow down the shifting a little and be slightly less accurate than usual. But still your best bet.
