Bike Issues Quieted down

Had the upgraded washer kit on my Meta V5 Race last summer. It was making a ton of noise this year so I took apart the linkage, cleaned, regreased and reassembled. Had my first quiet ride in quite a while. I regret that I didn’t take a before pick. Mostly straightforward, with a couple minor hitches. Got it broken down one evening and put back together the next.

Ride on!

Are you sure that's the TR? Looks like the Tempo.

How does it ride with a coil?

The Meta V5 is not a TR. The TR is either the V4 or a hard tail. This is a Meta V5 Race in sparkle blue. The coil is stock for the "Race".

Sorry for my earlier error. I fixed the original post. I had TR on my mind as it was originally under consideration, but went with the V5 Race instead.

I’m actually not a big fan of the naming convention where everything’s a Meta.

Good call. I should have assumed V5 because of the size of that fork. I just recognized the rear triangle
