I've changed bearings im my Sanction after a half season of riding. One bearing (the drive side) on RaceFace BB developed play. I've put cheap 6805 rs bearings. It works. I don't know if this is normal. I though i had a bad luck.

I wouldnt put cheap bearings... I just cleaned the fsa headset from mud rust etc... yak... bearings are crap.
I will soon buy a better headset and bb, as soon as they are done.

Related note: I asked the question about dogbone and bearings: GT answered that the pivots need constant maintenance, they made it easy to service but it is necessary to intervene very often to lengthen the life of the bearings and dogbone.

What kind of seat post are you running? I'm searching for a budget one as I'm not sure I wanna spend 500cnd for a reverb and it's seems like it's the only option as other brand having a 34.9 are really rare

Anyone knows the rear axle thread size on a 2016 sanction pro? 1, 1.25 or 1.5?

I'm using standard AllTerra dropper no issues. If it has issues I'll buy just normal seat post it's much more cheaper it will work forever, it's lighter and in most cases I'm riding downhill if it's uphill on my way I have enough time to adjust seat post, but it's only my opinion.

Try looking for a 31.6 as that is the correct size. All sorts available crc have good deals if you can get postage and if not go on the ks website and if you want a real cheap basic seat post they do one that’s a under seat lever that you have to pull up and push down so good if you just crawl up and hammer downhill. It’s under a different brand name like speed something

Here the one I am on about. Can probably run a larger drop due to very little internals
