29er / Bearing Spacing?
« on: May 27, 2014, 04:53:58 PM »
This is my first post here so first let me say thank you for the information that has been passed around already. I have purchased a full sus 29er from Leo at www.yoeleobike.com; and have had a great experience working with him. Frame arrived exactly 6 days after ordering.

Overall I am very happy with the frame (have not ridden it yet, still waiting on crank and shifter) but I am a little concerned about some play in the rearend.

If you see in the pictures there is some space in the linkage/bearing joint at the back of the rear triangle. Is this space normal for the frames? Has anyone else had play in the rear end? I can't seem to pinpoint exactly where it is but I am guessing it is in that junction as I do not get the play when holding the chainstay and rocking the wheel back and forth; yet getting at all other times?

Also, has anyone added polymer bushings to tighten up this space?

I do not have 4 posts yet and the pics are too large to upload with restriction. The links below should show each side.
