Hi
Back in September 13 While on holiday in usa I had to buy a Bronson frame to replace my Ellsworth Epiphany frame which developed a crack.
The bike Is great, but on last few rides it started to make a nasty Creaking noise when peddling hard up hill while sat down
I originally though it was my seat post causing the noise as the seat kept moving along its rails no matter how tight I had the clamp
But today I switched post and saddle and I still had the noise
So I had a browse on web and found posts about vpp and wortn bushings for other sc bikes
So tonight I started to break the bike down and have found that the lower bushing for the fox shock is loose and worn it waggles from left to right if I undo the top shock bolt
Has any one else with a Bronson had them wear out so soon ?
Asides from 6 days of riding in USA just after I bought it , I'd say as the weather was so bad in UK I have only ridden the bike about 30 times
Any suggestions as what to replace them with I see tftuned do heavy duty Bush's
Thx
