Yes it's happened to mine I was worried at first. I had a inner tube zip tied from the seat tube to chain stays worked well. But then I just learned to deal with it and accepted the grinding of rocks in there
before the BOS I had a Fox 36 Talas.
After riding the fork on local trails, in bike parks and in the Alps for one year I can say that the BOS is performing excellent. Way better than the 36. So smooth on little bumps as well as on the heavy stuff. No matter how fast or hard you go. Plus it's lighter. No technical problems so far.
Just built up my new T2 frame, still need good pedals (Spank Spikes). Weighs 32.01 lbs. I just put a Rockguardz carbon fiber guard on the down tube (not pictured) but looks pretty good.
Here is my T2. I Painted it but l cannot for the life of me find any real decals so l put some red line stickers on. Personally i think it looks badass.
Why, you ask because i cant find any REAL T2 decals. Even on the net i cant find any. Sure, perhaps Intense has some but they are not displayed in their store and im not going to pay 50$ for them either. Just so you know the Redline decals look great and are of good quality.
I put it on my T2 late last night, pics aren't great but you get the idea. Its a sticker for a 275 down tube, I cut it into two pieces so my carbon fiber guard wouldn't cover it.

Hey has anybody had any trouble getting there front derailleur mounted and it not lining up with the chain line on a tracer 2 ?? Seems like the mount is off about a mm on my frame its not bent as far as I can see
Naw, mine went on without a problem. Make sure you have the right der, mine is an SLX 3 speed. Set up just fine. If it is an angle problem not an in and out problem you might be out of luck.
Not sure if anyone still rides 26in wheeled bikes anymore, but thought I would post a few updates to my Tracer 2.
Crank bros handlebar
some new rims
Formula oro puros
XO ten speed drive train in silver
cbdb air
Next sl ten speed crank
Hoping to get it under 30 lbs, but didn't quite make it. Might have to find a cabine frame on ebay or and ibis. I still love this bike though.
Made a few changes to mine, now running 10 spd with clutch mech and narrow wide. Biggest change was the frame shock, after the 2nd RP23 failed at the cap threads, Intense UK kindly admitted my frame shouldn't have had that shock fitted and upgraded me with a CCDB f.o.c which was amazing on their behalf.
Been a while since I have posted here. A few changes. XTR Shadow plus RM. Spank Oozy wheelset replaces the 2010 Crossmax SX with 2012 internals. 2nd freehub failure spoke nipples coming loose, and spoke corrosion. Spank wheels seem ok quality considering they cost half as much as the Crossmax's.
Just got all my anodised parts back. Very happy with them,assembled the bike indoors as its horrid here in UK at the moment so apologies for poor lighting of pics. Heres my Tracer2.
Those green parts are looking mighty spiffy.
A quick question to any T2 owners with 135x10 dropouts: has anyone had any wheel alignment issues? When I seat my quick release axle all the way down in both dropouts, the wheel doesn't sit straight in the rear triangle. I have to have a space between the axle and one dropout for the wheel to sit right. Just wondering if it's normal, bad dropouts, or a bad triangle.
You may just have a badly aligned/welded triangle. The rear wheel on my T2 was also a bit out of alignment. Never really affected anything but bugged me nevertheless.
Even if the rim was off centered and needed to be dished the wheel should still sit parallel when looking at the bike from the rear.
In my case the wheel looks slightly angled.
