Hey, Any other Blur owners, (John), ever notice a slight amount of play at the lower shock mount? Not the pivots themselves but where the shaft goes through the eyelet.

I do notice a little bit of play there - when I pick my bike up I can feel a slight movement and noise as if something is loose. I figured it wasn't anything serious so I just kind of ignore it.

Maybe the 5th element shock will fit better....

That sets my mind at ease a bit. I've heard that there can be some play to make up for slight frame mis alignments but Ive never experienced it before.

Coo!
Your gonna kick arse this year.
I've been puttin' in some time at Lk. Elmo. My the V has a thick layer of dust because it's so dry out there but it's rock hard and fast (not a good Cheq simulator). It's knid of fun when you can just put yoour head down, just look at your front tire and hammer. My average speed is getting close to 15mph for a 20mi ride. If it rains I'm toast. Jennifer will ride easy Wednesday and Friday up there.
