How bad did it feel before the teardown?
Nice bit of elastomer good to remove there.

They had some "spring", but I think that was the coil springs at the top

You're too good for that bike. I'll take the frame off your hands to allow you to find true love elsewhere?
Thought you had used the wine cork tool there at first @fjohn860
I changed the tyres on my scout.

Being who he is
Oh dear my old banger has a set Indy XCs on it, service the other day consisted of pulling up the boots and squirting a bit of old finish line chain lube on the stanchions and quickly sliding the boots back down again. I wonder what I'll find if I do mine.Giving a set of circa '97 RS Indy SL's a birthday.
The plastic plungers were being especially difficult, but nothing a bit of bush mechanic-ing couldn't sort out.
Next stop, a plastics/polyurethane supplier
Totally with you on this. Nasty roots and rocks, constantly changing gradient, off-camber corners, I love it all. Pretty sure I'm the only one of my friends that does
So satisfying!

Well that is quite some rain...I managed one lap of the "big" jumps and it was time to bail.

In fairness to it, it does look ready and able to tackle the gnarliest DH and flightiest freeride trails on the planet.Refreshed brakes and cables on a mate’s bike. The thing’s a heavyweight with dual coils. And full EPO Lance Armstrong would struggle with the gearing on this thing!

Compressed hydraulic good. You might have accidentally invented something new....err...

Climbing is tough, unrelenting and you can't blame much else except yourself when you dab. It just won't make any MTB marketing brochures.

Pulled the old girl out from her place in the garage and prettied it up for sale. Been neglected since Mr banshee came along.
New tape and sealant for the rear, full wash and polish, shock cleaned and slicko'd... Will give it a brake bleed and new dripper cable before I sell it as well.
As usual, you clean and prep it all, only to sit on it and go "I still kinda like this bike..."
Nope. Gotta go.
Maybe something less similar to the banshee can come back in it's place.
