Top and bottom is I (think I) need knew ones. Frames developed one almighty creak almost overnight, well, more of a inconsistent click and it's mighty annoying to say the least.

I reckon bearings are shot as they wernt brilliantly smooth last time I had the rear triangle off. Could be something else though (I hope not)

Has anyone any experience of katec bearings off fleabay? And are they're more expensive option justifiable?

If it makes any odds it's a Mondraker Foxy

I had a creaking Trance and fitted Enduro Max bearings and it was great. Not ridden it in a while now though.

I have Keasae bearings in my ironhorse mk3 they have been great so far. You may want to check your shock bushes before you go ahead and buy a heap of bearings.

Kaesae 's your man. I had Katec bearings from him last winter for my Trance. Rusty Mac has a good point, but upper rear triangle bearings were shot on mine and others not as smooth as they should've been. Shock bush failed about 600 miles after first bearing.
