DugB:
Just wondering - what happened to all the images from these threads? Just wondering if the sealed bearing diagrams (for the XX00 and X57 frames) are still available?
Thanks in advance!

Here are links to my copies of the pivot diagrams for 957 and Evo. http://idriders.com/proflex/smf/MGalleryItem.php?id=611 http://idriders.com/proflex/smf/MGalleryItem.php?id=610 Only the Evo is a sealed bearing

DugB:
Colin! Thanks for those! :-)
I could have sworn that someone has created an X57 version of the sealed bearing setup and posted pictures of it a while back, but maybe I'm mistaken.

Actually the EVO frame has needle bearings that are not sealed.
It would be interesting to recover pictures of the actual sealed bearing modification.
Colin:
Yes, serviceguy, you're quite right, needle not sealed!
Ahhh, Doug, you mean the conversions that some people have done on here to x57's, Evo's and Oz's! Yes, these really happened! Here's Simon's thread on it and you're quite right, the photos have disappeared! any Admin know why? http://idriders.com/proflex/smf/index.php?topic=2927.msg20677;topicseen#msg20677
I'm trying to upload some files that I have on these, but can't do a Mass Upload! I've considered doing this mod on my bikes, but as I have spare pivot kits, It's not too urgent! (but, I do speculate whether the bearing conversion could result in less "stiction" in the pivot...?)
