I had so much bad luck with saints I gave up on them. The masters would always leak at that gold circular fitting and shimano refused warranty on both pairs the bastards. I ended up plugging the holes with pedal pins that fit lol. Didn't leak after that but were never the same.
I run the hayes...
Right? The rear end moves if you breathe on it with a coil and bearings.
That shock eye sees a lot of rotation when the main link does its thing so bushings are a bad idea. Yours came loose even after being torqued to 16nm eh?
Mine came with a rock shox super ultimate with cheese that has...
Finished the spring refresh the other day. Got some new wolftooth fat foamies slid over the old sdg lock on grips. Almost went with a stink/pink combo but decided on straight pink in the end.
I then righted a wrong thats been bugging me by getting some black cranks back on there. 155mm black...
Try taking off the rear wheel and universal derailleur hanger, clean and grease the hanger where it meets the frame and grease the rear axle as well. That area is where I had my mystery creaks.

Honestly, I can't really tell.. The bike rides pretty mint as a whole and I would throw the link on again but you'd have to do a side by side comparison to try and discern the subtle changes it made.
In my opinion, a good coil shock with bearings on the link end made the biggest difference in...
Started out with 70/140psi in the fork/runt, wasn't getting full travel so I dropped it down to 60/120. Feels better and I was using more travel on the short little test rip in the neighborhood. Have to remember to bring the shock pump with me next ride so I can mess with it some more.

Its a good idea to have 2 rear shocks if youre gonna ride a bunch. I prefer the coil to the air shock but every time the coil needs a rebuild and I throw the air shock on it feels better than I remembered it.

Messed around with the bike a little this week. Threw the summer wheels back on, mounted a new poo brown chromag trailmaster saddle and installed a DSD Runt air cartridge thingie in the Zeb. Have to play with air pressures in the fork a bit but it's nice that the bike feels like its supposed to...
No worries man. The Amygos chainstay thingie just clips on. You could put double sided tape on the back but I just 3m taped under it so it wouldn't scratch things up. This way you can remove it and give the stay a wipe down
The Amygos diaper is pretty useful if you hit your motor often. Its...
Since we've had a shitty winter without much snow I threw a set of Schwalbe ice spicers on the stocker wheelset with Cushcore in the rear. On the hard packed cold days the bike really rips, not so great off the trail but amazing on.
Also sent the e-storia in for its second rebuild and they...
Thanks!
I kind of wish I had just used 3m tape on the seatstays but the AMS stuff is doing its job. The Amygos chainstay protector on the non drive side is freaking outstanding though.

Mine isn't as bad as yours in that area and I have worse scratches and chips on my seatstays, dropouts and down tube. It all kind of matches now lol. Shit, I panic ejected off the bike 3x in the last 2 rides so there's probably a few I've yet to find.

Well, after 2 weeks down time the bullit is back in action. The old motor was throwing a code 010 and having some kind speed sensor issue that didn't come up on the screen until the 010 finally shut the bike down. Miraculously, I got a new motor under warranty and didn't have to wait for a...
