morressey, I have a spare DW link laying around my garage.

Has anyone had problems with cracking in the rocker plate? My 2009 rocker plate has cracked and I had to change to a 2008 rocker. I'm wounded but I may weld it yet.

you have to make sure that if you weld it that you make a jig for it so it diesnt warp on you. also depending on the alloy of the aluminum, welding it may weaken it in a different spot. this is because the heat you put into it while welding it may cause undesired heat treatment and leave other areas seceptable to cracking as Ive previously mentioned

Thats my old sunday you've got there fella, spent months looking for a rocker plate for it but was ultimatly the reason i sold the frame ( buyer was told ) good bike otherwise. Local fabricator advise against weld due to the stress put on it during riding.

Hi,

I have a Sunday wc and I was wondering if anyone had a tip as to how to attach the shock pump on the rear shock? I have fat fingers and cannot seem to get a proper seal on the shock as there is no room for my chunky kit kat fingers?

I did buy one of those right angled units to change the angle to fit the pump but I still cannot get that to seal correctly....

Help a fat man please!

While twisting the head of the shock pump also rotate the entire shock pump in the same direction. That's what I used to do works a treat

This is what I do and it helps a bit.

I think you can also use a piece of rubber (from a tyre tube for example) and use it around the pump head pulling the sides/ends of the rubber towards you.

I don't know if you understand what I am trying to say Razz

Yea, they sell them at Canadian Tire here,which is the equivalent of Wal-Mart, Target or Halfords. They're not even a Sportcheck bike.

They seemed to of popped up after Ironhorse wet under....And now "Airbourne" Is making some of the older IH bikes like Warrior and such....same frames, just different name on them.
