I am disassembling my FS Santa Cruz to have the rear triangle powder coated. Anything that I should be aware of?

Will the pivot points and shock just go back together or is there anything that once it is taken apart needs replaced (bushings,etc)?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the heads up...I will be chemically stripping the triangle instead of sandblasting for sure!

If you are sending to the place that do bicycle powder coating then they should know to cover the BB and all of the pivots. If not then you are going to have to tap the bb, face disc brake tab and , ect you get the pic.

I am just having the rear triangle powdercoated. My concern was having not disassembled a FS bike that there may be bushing , etc. that need replaced once you pull them apart.
