Full sus is crap - components dont last two minutes when they are attached to a full susser. Why is this?
Too much dust?
Which parts? (Out of interest)
I can't say that I have ever noticed this, perhaps you're just riding harder??
Bottom brackets, headsets and hubs mainly.
people ride full-sus bikes - they're fun !!
😉
Perhaps they're just crapiola components?
did you use them to defend your child when somebody looked at him the wrong way?
Mixture of Mavic, Shimano and Crank Bros components so they shouldn't be crapiola.
rs - lick me.
no thanks
Of course you're going to get dodgy components on bikes that are "full sus"
Aaaargh! sorry 🙂
surely {rear}hubs would last longer as they would not take a {big} hit as much as a hardtail
crank bros (pedals?) and shimano (hubs?)???
they would be your two main mistakes i would suggest? 😉
Shimano pedals and Hope hubs/BBs please your honor
"Crank Bros components so they shouldn't be crapiola"
cough ..
Shimano hubs just servicing more often. Yes the hub body eventually wears out but they're also about 1/3 of the price of a hope hub? Use them until they wear out and then get something else
it's probbers because you ride your hardtail so gay Smee
amything that takes a pounding in spite of a boingy rear end maybe, cos you go faster and take sillier lines through rough bits. So headset/bars/stem, front hub/rim, brake pads and seals, tyres. I wonder if rear mechs moving back and forth with the movement of the suspension shortens their life?
