Hey Everyone, just wanted to spit this out there for the info. I picked up a 2021 Giant Fathom with the “new” Crest 34 fork. Got out for one ride and noticed a knocking sound coming from the front end. Checked the thru axle, caliper mounting, stem etc. all was good. I narrowed it down to the fork during actuation, no matter what the setting. Brought it back to the bike shop where I bought it. They contacted Giant and they are going to warranty it. Giant will send a new set of forks to the the shop for replacement, as soon as they’re off backorder that is! Just an FYI for you fellow offroadies!
