hey Guys i have a new Specialised Demo 8 2015
has anyone had a problem with the Ohlins shock?
I have scratches on the inside of the shock and scratches on the outside of the dampener?
it just seems to be in one concentrated area of the dampener, not all round. its almost like the spring has bent in the way and rubbed, if thats possible? But the gap between the spring and the shock is small surely even if something got caught it would have fell out after a compression or two.

the bike has only been for 1 days riding at Fort William. pretty annoyed this has happened after 1 day.
I've seen pictures of used Ohlins shocks and the shocks on other peoples bikes and no one apart from me seems to have these scratches.

I had the same rubbage issues with a couple of CCDB shocks running ti springs which was caused by the springs bowing slightly. Completely normal if a little frustrating. Some CCDB owners removed the black plastic protector but you then expose the damper tubes to potential damage.
