What is the SCB warranty deal for the older Bullit frames and DC forks ?

Is it something like 5"-6" limit for DC on the 99-01 frames ?

I have a 99 w/ a Jr T and it shows no signs of breaking.

I just want to make sure I'm not going to tear the headtube off mid-landing....

Always thought it was overkill.

Yeah, I have a '99 that has had several forks on it, one of them an '02 Super T. I think SC just wanted to hedge their bets against a worst case scenario. Heck, many have put Monster Ts on these older Bullits with no unusual problems. I've used a 7" travel rear shock a great deal on this '99 with no ill effects to the frame or swingarm.

officially ?

Cool. Do you know officially what the deal is ? I thought it was based on travel... (for a warranty issue)

CraigH may have posted this on the old archives. (are they gone now?) you might PM him for the info. I *think" the max fork was 175mm up until 2002 (which is why i got an 02 monster t). it may have gone up to 190 or 200mm for 2003. can't recall exactly.

here's the info for 2004:

The warranty on a '99 frame is long over, as back then it was only 1 year. (It is now 2.)

Pre 02 frames had a max. fork travel of 6"
02 and later are 7" travel.

The crash replacement program is still available for the older frames.

Thanks

6" & under got it.

SCB is pretty cool w/ the crash replacement of older frames. I'm getting my 01 upgraded to an 04. This after the rear tri bent and damaged the pivot too. Pretty cool.
