Johan Bornman Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Are there any other bikes that come out with grease nipples on the pivots?? Not that I know of, but for good reason. Those grease nipples do nothing for the lower pivot. It fails just as fast as any other one. Further, I've now opened two of those lower pivots to find bearings that are sealed on the inside. In that assembly they should have no seals on the inside so that the grease you pump in goes through the bearing and out the other seal. These just had the grease go....nowhere. Those bolts, although they can adjust for pre-load, are fragile and expensive. No thanks.
T-Bob Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) That's pretty average isn't it. They really should step up their game a bit... Edited June 7, 2013 by hellocolour
javburg Posted June 7, 2013 Author Posted June 7, 2013 They do still make a single pivot bike . I suppose I will have to look after my single pivot bikes , looks like they won't be around for much longer . I don't think SC will drop their single pivot bikes. At one stage they had 3 suspension options; single pivot, APP & VPP. It looked as if they would drop the single pivot, but they let the APP design go, because it was just not selling enough.
