I can begin to feel some play in the rear end of my Transition Scout. I think it is the shock bushings but very hard to detect - so I am going to replace those first to see if that sorts it.
The shock is a RockShox Monarch RT3 Debonair
I've had it for just under a year used it last summer and then a total of three weeks worth of cycling holidays. Does that sound about the right?
If so are [url= http://www.tftuned.com/polymer-eyelet-bushings-127mm-bag-of-4/p516 ]these[/url] the bushings for the job?
Sounds early to need to replace bushings. Are you sure it's not the monarch shock knocking? Mate of mine felt a knocking and we thought it was something loose or worn, turned out it was the shock. There's been a thread on here recently on this issue
I'm not sure what it is to be honest I can just feel the slightest knock/play when I pick the rear end of the bike up (stationary not riding) and the bushings are easier/cheaper to eliminate than other things!
It sounds very much like wot I sez. Recommend you look up the thread, it was last posted on about 4 days ago (sorry, don't know how to put a link to it up),and given your shock is under warranty, get the shop to sort it.
Seems reasonable to expect a bush change and yes that's the puppies. Take the shock off - if the bushnis toast you'll fee it easily with the shock off. The hardware will probably come out of the bush easily too. Another sign it's toast.
