check the pivot points and suspension arms for microfractures, if someone didn't set up the rear shock right--they might have exposed it to a bit more 'wear and tear' than normal.

also it'd be good to see if ellsworth will cover the frame warranty even if you're not the original owner

the rear travel is about 4'', btw.

the front is dependent on the fork settings, but i think that's a 130mm with about 120 usable travel.

i could be wrong.

thanks for the tips!

The front fork is a Fox Float R, rear is a Cane Creek um......crap I forget the number. FSA carbon crank and full XTR

Now here's what I'm trying to figure out...if it's a 2003 or above. I think it is....but I can't find any Ellsworth warranty info post-2003.

Also can't figure out if I have bushings or bearings.

I know, I know.....but I've only ridden hardtails up to this point

Re: New Ride

Bearings and it has a lifetime warranty to the original owner.
