    Interest in '98 GT LTS ?

    We're moving house soon, so I think our old LTS' finally have to go. I've got a gold '98 GT LTS 1000 XC, and my wife's is a LTS 3000. Is anyone interested or are they scrap now !?! :(

    gt lts shock soloution ?

    Re: Risse Genesis for LTS 97 I just looked at pics online and you'll kick yourself ... you just unscrew the trunnion ring and fit that first, then screw the body back on and fit the bottom pivot bolt last. (Assuming you've got the gt one and not the cannondale one which looks a bigger...

    gt lts shock soloution ?

    Thats because it wont - it hasnt got an eye at either end which is what your frame needs. That shock is for a trunnion mount - it expects to use a threaded-collar with pivots either side

    gt lts shock soloution ?

    Maybe you've been lucky ! I think the basic models are possible a bit better than the super deluxe actually. My super deluxe was annoying for years until the seal blew and I had it rebuilt by tf tuned (good guys there !) who asked me how the damping had been before it went ... as they know the...

    gt lts shock soloution ?

    Re: LTS Risse The betd beariung kits are ok, but the big bearings need even more tlc than the std plastic shims cos they arny sealed. The small horst link etc bearings are pretty much fit and forget though (excepting getting the stupid horst link screws to stay put - I use silicon engine...

    gt lts shock soloution ?

    Re: Risse Genesis for LTS 97 Do you mean its too fat to jiggle in to position or too fat to fit. Having just had to swap mime for my spare cos the seal just blew, I've been reminded what a pig it is to get the std one in place. What diameter is the main shock body ? Can you remove the...

    gt lts shock soloution ?

    Any updates on how well any replacements work ? I've still not seen anything on the market that looks like it has a better ride than my lts. The rear shock is def the weakest link ;)

    GT LTS replacement bearings by BETD ...

    Well, £10/pair isnt too different to £4 each ! And its the large unsealed ones that are piles of rust mush - the markings on the (narrow) edges are not very clear any more. And in defence of the betd kit, you have to remember that they arent oem bearings, and they almost completely remove...

    GT LTS replacement bearings by BETD ...

    Thanks for that - at least I know where I stand now. I must admit that I think the original plastic bearings probably need replacing at around the same rate, as they degrade badly when they get silt/clay in them, you guessed it, we live by sand and clay ! I've ordered 4 pairs for £10/pair...

    GT LTS replacement bearings by BETD ...

    Hi guys anyone got any advice on sealing the main and front-of-linkage bearings ? I've just dissassembled my wife's bike to replace the swingarm (cos the horst-links have been getting noisy as the bolts move and have worn the arm) and found a complete mush of rust inside all those non-sealed...
