Hi i am a new yeti owner. I have just built up a ASR 5 in ali. Anyhow when i removed the shock and cycled the linkage to check it was all smooth i noticed that there appears to be a piont it gets harder and then easier again. This is near the start of the travel cycle.
Is this normal?
Its all dead smooth i am just checking. It feels fine to ride, looking forward to its first ride.
i cant answer your question but ive just built up an asr7, my first ride was very impressive !!
Nice mine feels very nice riding around, i am going to try and take mine to wales next week for its first proper ride.
i got mine after i'd been to coed 🙁 , woburn isn't quite the same now, i will be going back with the yeti though. i really liked it there.
nice one thanks thats what i was after!
Why does this matter?
As i wanted to check it was not a tight spot on a bearing.
Thanks for the feedback bud! Let's see it then.....
I've also just built one up and noticed exactly the same thing. I think it's where the seatstay flexes.
It has to compress the stays as the dog link moves, that's what you'll feel
