crappy linkage
Where I ride we go through muddy swamps every day. Because of this mud my linkage gets crapped up pretty quick. I greased my linkage and noticed that one of the pins in the bearings were missing. I wanted to know which linkage bearing kit you guys think has the most bang for the buck. I was thinking of putting grease nipples on the linkage too so I could keep it lubricated, has any one done this? Thanks

I think there was a thread here for ceramic bearings with a warranty. I cann't remember who makes them maybe CC or INDA will be around here soon and may know more about it. I would replace everything while you have it apart. replacing 1 bearing usually means replacing the other down the line sooner or later, most replace them in sets.

I was cleaning the linkage and the bearing that is between the linkage and the rear shock and it fell apart. The $70 Pivot Works bearing kit I bought Doesn't have this bearing so I had to buy a $20 kit from All Balls. Looking at their $80 linkage kit I noticed It included the $20 kit I just had to buy .
