Well I'd imagine it would be a little bit of both. If you are thinking of Signing up you might need to pm AquilaEagle directly as the deadline is very close if not gone already.

Live from Center Gravity - 7 of 10 bolts free/removed no problem. One freed/removed with a little work.

Remaining two freed enough for adjustment(on standard height suspension) but not removable without cutting. Leaving in and going ahead with adjustment - just pumped full of a special aluminium/copper grease - may work themselves fully free over time with the help of the rust converter thats been injected.

Otherwise, will cut/replace if/when I change suspension down the road. All going back on now and out for a pre-adjustment test drive.

Pretty happy so far - very welcoming and informative.

Also genuine - e.g. did not push for me to have them do now the work to cut out/replace the 2 bushes mentioned above, that I'd be better waiting until changing the suspension given there is plenty of adjustment for a setup at standard height.

Most if not all of you should have gotten my Text message ( if you did not receive a text please pm me your number) about the monthly C+C in Carrickmines being cancelled at our current location. We are now on the look out for a new venue, so if anyone has any ideas of a decent size venue where we can get permission for our monthly meets please let me know
