I guess the plan is eventually the warranty will run out; problem solved!

The frames are supposed to have a lifetime warranty Tom.

Of course the customer interpretation of "lifetime" may be different to Saracen/Madison's.

Hi. My name is Adam. I finish my adventure with cycling over 8years ago and now want back to riding :). I ridden on "gt chucker", that was dirt bike but now I'm much older :p and looking for full suspension bike.

I take a look on couples models and one of this is Saracen Ariel 151. looks nice and at this moment is reduce price on £1430.

I read some bad opinions about bushings but actually model have a "NorglideTM linkage bushings". That resolve problem? or doesn't help ?

Adam did you still have yours Ariel ?

Thanks for any help.

i found its the bolt in middle of linkage. the sizes vary so much in diameter so a wrap of plumbers tape sorts it. 🙂

Hi!
New to the forum,from norway.
I bought a 2015 Ariel 152 from a friend of mine a couple of months ago and i noticed yesterday That it was play in the linkage. Previous owner has never changed any of them (she weighs 50kg and im 88 so it get alot more beating from me) the play wasnt there when i bought it and a quick message to the dealer and he Will send me new bushings right away. So i kinda have this hope that since it lasted over a year before any play occured,maybe this frame dont have this problem so bad. Did any of you get the new improved bushings? And is it something i should pay any extra attention for when changing them?
