He's still got the 40 on that GT... hmmm I wonder if he wants to just switch it out.
[sixsixtysix Tue, Apr 06 03:01 PM]: Yeah, but I remember looking at it and you could see the bearings moving in the races. The fork is the 40 that was on the GT.
[KavuRider Tue, Apr 06 03:00 PM]:
The old ones were notorious for going through bearings like water.
What fork does he have on there? I forget...
[sixsixtysix Tue, Apr 06 02:57 PM]: Its the links, its always the links on those V-10's. He can order them online direct, no need to go through a dealer. http://www.santacruzbicycles.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=38_94 Nick's spare shock (which is on Posh's bike right now) will fit his V-10. Fork, well thats gonna be pricey...
[Mike-e Tue, Apr 06 02:25 PM]: haha, I wouldn't say fixed but I at least looked at it. I pretty sure the rear shock is blown, bearings need to be replaced, I'm hoping the bearing issue will fix the slop in the rear end otherwise he may need to replace the VPP link... His bike is f'ed, wayyyy to much time with Posh's bike I think. clap clap clap oh yeah and the fork is f'ed to, he smashed the big ol' knob and bent it to the point that all the oil leaked out, he needs a whole new compression cartridge.
[sixsixtysix Tue, Apr 06 01:42 PM]: You get Freddy's bike fixed last night?
[Mike-e Tue, Apr 06 01:23 PM]: and with the Salt River flowing again, home is closer than you think! |

Right, if you aren't diligent about changing the bearings, that's what happens...I heard the same about the Sundays.
Oh...well, that's why it failed, its a 40... Seeing his riding style, he should be on a Monster T or a Shiver - Tyler Klassen style...

Its the combination of the 575 and the RP23, everyone I talk to with that setup says the same thing and that the Push rebuild does very little to help the blowing through travel part, but does help a little with the chatter.
[JerseyShore Tue, Apr 06 02:36 PM]: Krikey reminds me I gotta send my rp23 to push soon. that thing is horrible right now. either too stiff or blow through the travel on drops. |

What year V10? 2005-ish?
Most likely hosed with the play in the rear. If he let it go past the bearings being shot, he most likely did some serious damage. Known problem with those bikes.

No, I dig the Sluggo.
Its just not a trail bike the way I have it set up right now. Too tall a gear and the seatpost I have is too short to get any kind of leg extension. I just pieced it together from the parts I stripped from CoilAir. Can't afford to buy any bike stuff for awhile.
[sixsixtysix Tue, Apr 06 12:19 PM]: Ohhhhhh whats that I hear? The beginning of the end of the Sluggo is near!
[KavuRider Tue, Apr 06 11:59 AM]:
I only have a 36x18 gear on the Sluggo and a too-short seatpost.
Not doing any more trail riding with that setup. It sucks and kills my knees.
[sixsixtysix Tue, Apr 06 11:48 AM]: Yeah, Chuck mentioned something at the shop last night about wanting to go. He's gonna be on his rigid 29er, so he and Kavu can have a rigid fest together.
[JerseyShore Tue, Apr 06 11:41 AM]: Nice, just got a text from Chuck about it too. Trying to get Kavu out there on the Sluggo! |

HAHAHA! He has had that bike for a few weeks now, just about time for him to be sick of it and sell it.
