Play in Klein Mantra rear end

[fluroforks]

Morning everyone,

Yesterday I was lucky enough to pick up a Klein Mantra in a pretty sorry state. As I don't have any FS bikes I'd like to get this one going for myself. The obvious stuff I can sort out but I notice there is quite a lot of play in the linkage on the shock and a little bit at the boom. What needs to be done to sort this out and where can I get the parts for it?

check out this site. Guy knows the Mantra and can help with your concerns. Sounds like you need bushings.

Well spotted, that looks like a useful site.

This is going back to 2008 now, but when a customer had worn out bushings in his Palamino he came to the shop that I worked at because we were a Trek dealer. Our rep got a set sent to the shop and I installed it all.
