I am having an issue eliminating movement in my upper headset. I have added plenty of grease and I am using the supplied file cap, and carob spacers. My stem topcap has plenty of preload and it it not bottoming it on the fork steer tube. Any suggestions
Anyone have issues with a little water getting into the lower SWAT?
I "think" it leaked in while I was doing a hefty bike cleaning the other day. I may not have closed it tightly once while it was on/off a couple times. The SWAT bag had a little bit of water down where it sits near the BB. Seemed like it was only on the bag and didn't get into the lower BB of the downtube. It may have picked up water while outside the bike during cleaning--it was only on that bottom 2 inches though? No rag stuffed in there picked up water, but there was that bit on the bag so I thought I'd ask if someone had this happen.
Been through water, puddles, and some serious mud on a couple rides, never had a drop get in there yet. Just wondered if anyone has had this leak before. (mine is a 2019 but has only been ridden this season)

Any chance the top cap is bottoming on the star-flanged nut? I've seen that a few times. I've also seen a top cap with an annoyingly prominent shoulder bottom against a steerer I felt certain was far enough below the top spacer, so you could try a taller spacer over the stem to be absolutely certain.

It’s not a waterproof compartment, but it does have drain holes at the bottom to allow any water to drain out. No big deal, just make sure your extra sh!t tickets in a ziplock!

Oh man of course! That's right, forgot about that. Makes sense. That's exactly where the swat-bag got wet when I was spraying water up there rinsing while I was cleaning. Thanks!
Yeah I keep important things in a small sealed plastic anyway, like bandages, gauze, extra breathe right strip--good thinking

The star nut is deep enough into the steer tube and I added an extra spacer to make sure the top cap hitting the steer tube wasn't the issue. The only way I can get 95% of the play out is to make the star nut tension so tight that the steering is too tight.
Are you 100% sure that the play comes from the headset only? Might be worth checking the front hub and the fork bushings, even the brake caliper and disc

Something is wrong, then. Incorrect headset assembly, out-of-spec tolerances, damaged frame, or badly worn bearings.
I have the Pike in 150mm, feels good ! It is not night and day compared to 140mm, I have just dropped 1cm of spacers under the stem to keep the front wheel on the ground while climbing. Feels a touch more stable on the downhills maybe more from the new HTA than the 1cm travel more, probably the biggest effect is psychological knowing that there is this 1cm extra travel in case of bigger hit! I might try the flip chip in high position next time out of curiosity.
Some time ago was this discussion if a coil shock would fit and work on the stumpy 2021. A classic coil might be too linear but what about something like an EXT Storia, did it already cross somebody's mind?
The Storia also has a linear spring rate. The hydraulic bottom-out feature is a much more sophisticated version of the elastomer cone that typical coil shocks use as a bottom-out bumper, but the function is similar. EXT's HBC feature acts over a slightly longer range than some elastomer cones, but not that much longer.
If you want to use a coil shock, the first step is to use a progressive-wound spring, which are available from MRP and Cane Creek, among others, and could be combined with an EXT shock.
