Fine choice of set-up. Looks like a ripper.

Is it a 2012 frame? Did it have a slack/loose in the pivots when brand new? Mine had and from talking to one of the Geronimo dude this weekend at the CFF, seems like him and the other guys running the spitfire have been having the same problem(s). Solved the problem by jamming a spacer between the bolt head and the pivot... Not ideal but so is play/slack on a brand new frame.

Great bike otherwise. Geo is killer
