Greetings,
I'm a new member from across the pond. I'm an old guy w/ old bikes (Fat Chance, ProFlex, AMP, etc.) but my current ride is a '93 GT RTS 1 Team w/ AMP fork that I've had since new.
I have had no luck searching for information regarding acceptable tolerances in the rear suspension, replacement bearings, etc. I recently took it apart, and was surprised to not find any bushing in the seat & chain stays, w/ only two pressed in bearings at the link, and the heim link at the end of the shock.
(I only do technical trails, so the suspension is set to firm, and I was even considering making the rear a hardtail (by substituting the shock w/ a machined alum. piece.)
I'm wondering if anybody has tolerance info (besides wiggling the rear triangle), and if anybody has found replacement parts.
Thanks,
Milema
