spoke to Gerald too
It seems the partially threaded bolt is not a larger enuf diameter for the fox shock bushing
The unthreaded area seems closer
Anyone else have this prob?
Frame is brand new

everyone who gets a bottle rocket seems to have a bit of vertical play in all the links.
i actualy called transition and the advice they gave me was to tighten everything very very very tight, like balls out - and i did. and the play dissapeared. seems simple but it worked.

Different issue for me, anyhoo. Gerald microshimmed the main pivot bolt and it totally cleaned up any play I had, even after beating the crap out of it at diablo trailer park yesterday. F#ck a downhill bike.  <_< This bike did it all.

I see that on a lot of frame, always the sleeve & washers on the rear of the suspension from bob & rocking motion your suspension co send you or sell you the spacers,sleeve or try to get the parts free from them it's a defect in that part call them try to get a RA#

Have new rear springs to install - question; do I have enough travel in the rear suspension to take the bolt off of the top of the shock, lift the rear of the vehicle and the springs will come out or is it more complicated.  Advice is good
