Frame arrived!
Starting to assemble all the bits.
Two questions:
- GPX BB comes with two spacers which I suppose need to be installed.
- Rear shock (Monarch) needs some bushings? Any advice where to get them? Do they need bearings?
thx
Assuming you purchased an IP-036 frame:
1) For the SRAM GXP BB, you will need to put a spacer on each side. My GXP BB had the needed spacers included in the box.
2) You will need the correct bushing/bearing at each end that matches up to your frame. You should be able to order the bushings from the regular online vendors like CRC. You first measure the inside dimension of each of your mounting points, they can be different, and order that width, I think the ID of the hole is 8mm.
As a second option, you can spend more money and order needle bearings from RWC (

I have a FOX CTD and ended up only needing a different bushing at one end, I think I moved the other bushing from the top of the shock to the bottom as it was the correct size for that mounting position, they installed the new bushing, then installed the shock.
