Not too sure what I'm up to next week, or what I'm going to do with the bike. I just went on a ride for about 10 minutes, but had to come back because every time I hit a bump, the linkage made so much noise. I put it up on a stand and it was as if the whole linkage had just decided to run without bearings-there was so much play.
I think I might buy some new bearings and dust covers for the current linkage, aswell as getting some new bolts (that are actually 12mm). I've got a friend who just got a chinese bike that runs the same shock/linkage parts as mine. He got his shock serviced to fit his weight, and he said it was like riding a jap bike. I really want to upgrade, but I dont see myself getting out of it for under 300. I might call up some wreckers, see if they have any bikes and go down and have a look, you never know...
But for now, I think I'll save up some $$ and head down to the bearing shop. The last time I replaced the bearings, I didnt put some of the dust caps in, so maybe if I get some new ones and put them in with new bearings and get the shock serviced it might be fine. But I honestly have no idea atm, lol...
