given all the ASR5 buzz on the forum, I assume quite a few people have one now, so I have a question for those who have had one for a while - do you have to replace your shock bushings on a regular basis?
Mine seem to wear out after only a handful of rides (say 10-ish). It was fine for the first 6 months or so, and since then after only a few rides it will be rattling and need replaced. I'd like to say it's because I'm so hardcore and give it such a pounding every time I ride, but I don't think that's the case.
worn mounting hardware?
You are hardcore, I've seen you pound!
Not had to change mine yet, had it since April. When I do replace them it will be replaced with tf-tuned heavy duty mount kits.
First set wore out in about half a dozen rides - I think the tolerances were rather too tight. Replaced with a polymer bush and tight as a tick since. That's about five hours a week since March'ish.
PG - first rule of bootcamp is... never talk about bootcamp!
Yes, bushings replaced once and prob needs doing again. Have also had new frame bearings too. Had mine since about April/May 2010.
Had mine since June and thought I had some 'play' turned out to be the bolt being loose!!! Luckily I did not purchace the bushers before. Worth checking!
