BIKE-PRO ALERTNotice From Our Service DepartmentGirvin 955, 855 & AnimalGirvin Inc., has informed us that the World Cup models or their bike line (955, 855 & Animal) is still encountering some difficulties keeping the rear suspension tight on the bikes. If and when the bolt holding the spring assembly comes loose, it can shear causing rear suspension failure. This is not a problem if the bolt is kept tight, especially during the first few rides. Owners of these bikes should tighten the bolt mid-way thru their first ride and after the first few rides. There is a break-in period for the assembly that holds the rear triangle. The bolt seats into a recess and initial riding works it slightly, causing it to loosen. It will need to be re-tightened. |
