Hi.I'm new here.
I bought ~2 years ago a 2004 GT I-Drive 2.0 frame and build it.I want to replace the dog bone as it has some wear on the bushings.My dog bone has a length of 70mm.

I found some kits here

I emailed them but they dont reply.Does someone know if any of the kits fit my bike?
Thanks.

Are you sure you don't need a flexbone? Flexbone is a flat piece drilled at both ends. Dogbone is from earlier models with the eccentric-type I-drive. The dogbone is shown at the site you linked. The flexbone is not. You can get 'em from your local GT dealer, or if you don't have a local dealer, GT will sell 'em to you directly. Get several, you'll need 'em.

You probably don't need a new dogbone, you probably just need new bushings. I have a bunch of brand new ones I'll give you, plus a used dogbone. I don't need them anymore. PM your mailing address and I'll get 'em in the mail to you ASAP.

It looks like they switched to the flexbone on 2006 models. MAYBE 2005.

Flexbone and I-link

It looks like they switched to the flexbone on 2006 models. MAYBE 2005.

2005 and 2006 were the same- both used the flexbone.

For 2007, they switched from flexbone to I-link. They also lowered the top tube, changed the rear triangle some and increased rear travel a bit. I think it was like a transitional step to the Force.

My bad. Got my threads crossed.
