Default HELP! Hydraulic brake AND Headshok questions

BC wrote:
I just bought a used Cannondale Raven, and have two questions about it:

1) On the test ride, I noticed that the Headshok made a slight knocking
sound every time it returned to its non-compressed position. Is this
normal? If not, what's wrong with it?

2) The front brake is an after-market Magura hydraulic. Neither I nor
the people at the bike store could figure out how to open the thing up
to take the front wheel off. IS there a way, or do I just have to
deflate the tire and squish it through between the brake pads every
time?

Thanks!

1) Most likely you have a small amount of air in your fork's cartridge.
It usually just requires an oil change, but if any of the internal
parts are damaged the cartridge will need to be returned to the factory.
It is also possible that the fork telescope needs to be reset because
the bearings have migrated, but I think this is less likely.

2) What Jeff said.
