I've got a entry level full suspension bike, which uses cartridge style sealed ball bearings. But some older trail bikes used bushings, according to Rojo. Over time they wear and get sloppy, you can pick the back of the bike up slightly and hear/feel the clinking as the slop gets pulled out 
idk about newer, nicer, high end stuff as I've not gotten THAT into them. Only one I've done pivot rebuilds with is mine. |
LOL, no doubt it is certainly a kids play bike, but let a couple grown men out on them with semi sticky tires and all of a sudden its not a kids bike ...... ITS A RACE BIKE
..... LOOSE THE RED MIST!!!!!!! LOL.
