If that's what I think it is, it's dirt trapped between front tri and swingarm rubbing as the swingarm rotates. Nearly unavoidable, occurs on nearly all bikes at the tight spots, and totally normal.

Yea, mine was like that. I ended up putting some waterproof grease in there and it seemed a bit better.

My spherical bearings lasted 5 days, and felt noticeably clunky. Replaced with the upgrade kit, which Evil supplied with the frame, and the ride is definitely quieter and smoother. The sphericals had movement in them I could feel with my fingers, absolutely the shittest bearings ever installed in a dh frame. New ones are sweet though.

Hey guys

I'm just about done building my Undead frame and I've managed to afford upgrading forks by selling my old ones. Problem is I have just shipped the old ones and forgot to remove the crown race from the forks. Will this do the job?

If not, anyone know where I can get another until I hopefully get the original one sent back?

It depends as the bearings are sealed Cartridge, but I suppose for £3 you could just buy it and try

Yeah I got it fitted it and it all seems solid so it'll do until I get the original one back.

I've just about finished my Undead build, only some custom decals that I'm waiting on so I'll post a pic when I'm done.

Hi all I had to send my rear swing arm back to the Europe branch for repair as there was a crack, but I've been waiting for nearly three months now, the Luismi has been really slow at getting back to waiting weeks at time to get a reply. So has anybody else had similar issue with them thanks

I'm willing to bet it wasn't cracked.

Would be interested to see where you cracked it... I absolutely crushed the shit out of my Undead and it was fine.

I surely hope you are not talking about the well documented paint cracks near the linkage that are purely cosmetic and come from the metal inserts and carbon flexing at different rates or else you would have wasted a lot of your own time for nothing! Good luck.
