So my noisy megatower v2 Firstly this is how tight the bearings are in the lower link https://youtube.com/shorts/weqmPqmmElI?feature=share Then the noise https://youtube.com/shorts/vTtBUYPZNmc?feature=share roughly half way through as I ride off the tiny curb (hope it's noticeable)
I've losened the bearings a touch so they actually turn now, they hardly turned before. I've rode the bike with no mech cassette disc , different wheel, no cranks, I'm really at a loss wtf it can be. I'm not happy with the bearings hardly moving they've clearly been pressed in too hard or the tolerance is out on the bearing seat, or bearing. Well not happy.
My v1 had a factory issue where the pivot bolt threads were too long and the bearings smashed the threads flat. The bearings should have been sat on the bolt shaft. Ended up knackering the frame but they did loads to correct the error. Are the bolts correct?

Do you have the foam tubes installed on the brake/shifter cables at the seat stay?
Had a question for you guys. I might just be freaking myself out here....
I just got a 2019 Megatower. Are the rear triangles meant to my symmetrical on these frames? I just noticed on my last ride but it seems like the left side (especially near the linkage) almost curves out more than the right. I assume this could be to compensate for the chain ring on the right side, but I dont think I have noticed it on other bikes before? I had a hard bottom out on a previous ride so a little concerned I may have moved something.

Megatower v1 owners, the bearing mount for the stock super deluxe keeps getting play. Ordered a brand new bearing kit and still play after two rides. Any known fixes?

newer better shock bolts and flip chips.
or pull the bearings and install better quality. Generally speaking all bearings on bicycle parts are pretty crap.
