Looks like BETD have run out of parts for the pre 2000 FSRs.

Well come on then, spill the beans!lowslowandold":uo89c8ll said:
the long short of it is the bearings are a doddle to replace.
the bushing - not easy. need to be hardened steel bushes which is an expensive material to get hold of/machine.
so i ended up getting the needle bearing kits from BETD for the top of seat stay and the shock linkage purely for the bushes.
the main pivot and 'a' links [next to the rear dropouts] ive used SKF sealed bearings. there isnt any play in it (only a very small slightly noticeable 'knock' noise when i grab the rear triangle and move it side to side) but on a 16yr old frame isnt bad i guess and i just dont care anymore. ill ride it till the seat stay cracks at the main pivot

Can I suggest to the mods that this thread be merged with twain's existing and most excellent FSR bearing upgrade thread?
