Thanks.
Sadly it's going to be getting the black Select SID's fitted again as the blue SID has got some play in the bushes so needs to go back for a warranty fix.

Good luck! The insufficient bushing overlap is something they acknowledged with the release of the new 2024 version. Sram love general public beta testing when it comes to new products...

It's no secret that a number of the previous SID forks were plagued by bushing play, an issue we encountered on several test bikes. To address that, RockShox increased the upper tube length by 25 millimeters. That extra length means that the lower bushing is fully engaged at top out, and there's 50% more bushing surface engagement, hopefully greatly reducing the likelihood that any annoying fork play will develop.

That's handy to know.
At least if they've admitted that it's an issue then it should be straightforward to get it warrantied.
No doubt this'll happen with the SID fork that was supplied with the bike at some point as well.
