OK. Had my lapierre fs off the road for repaint. Looks hot but im waiting on brakes so no pictures yet. Stripped the majority of the bike myself(i paint cars for a living and have good mechanical skills). But sent it off to get bottom bracket and chain removed. Tried to strip away the rear triangle section of the bike, bit only removed the outer bolts and washers to reveal the bearings which i ended up leaving in place... Now my problem is..When i take the weight off the rear wheels by lifting by the saddle, theres a slight knock... Only by a lift of a mm the knock is audible.. Help....

no..that needs a priest, its possessed !
First thing to check is the top mount in the shock,there is a sleeve inside the top of shock that is prone to wear
failing that its a bearing

no, its definitely possessed !
Bushings & possibly hardwear (brutal lapiere)
Sorted. Rear shock bolt just needed a wee torque.. Thanks for your input guys.
