irgendwer auf mtbr im Jahre 2004:
"Broken Rear Swingarms: I've read many reviews and complaints about broken rear swingarms on 2002 and older Jokers. My 2003/04 Joker has a completely redesigned rear assembly, it's mostly one piece now. Hopefully I won't have any problems, i'm not particularly heavy (170lbs) so it should be ok, will let you know if I do experience any issues. The great thing is that Ellsworth does update it's frames almost every year for each model. I know my 2003 Truth is slightly different than 04 (less leverage ration on rear shock)."
..nunja, er hat sich nichtmehr zu Wort gemeldet, scheint ja zu halten
irgendwer auf nsbm im Jahre 2002:
"
con:
broke aluminum pivot bolt, my fault. ellsworth replaced with stainless steel bolt, no charge.
review:
willy down there needs to lose a few hundred pounds or learn how to ride a bike if he has broken that many. i've put this bike through a lot of abuse since i've had it. numerous 6'-7' drops to flat landings without a hitch. i do weekly urban rides and then turn around and head for the hills for long xc rides. if i was to only own one bike (horrible thought) this would have to be it. "
irgendjemand auf bikemagic auch von 2002:
" Sometimes they break. Mine did. Twice. I am on my 3rd frame. Good part. Ellsworth's replaced the broken frame no questions asked and always given me an improved/updated replacement. I should add that I've broken a half dozen GT LTS's and 3 I-drives, a Foes Fly, and Kona Stab. Basically, if it can be broke, I can do it. Yeah, I was just riding along and...."
...okay, bis 2002 hat er wohl nicht ewig sprünge bis 2 Meter ins Flat ausgehalten
Ellsworth wird doch Schwachstellen aus den ersten Generationen ausmerzen wie jeder andere Hersteller auch...und den Joker gibts doch seit mind. seit 2002.
