Just checking to see if any of you have a solution to vpp bikes' rear mechs coming out of adjustment frequently...

also, who out there has used a isis splined bb for more than one year without producing play, and which one is it...

Thanks,
b

it's more noticeable when riding. i should have phrased the question better... does anyone have a problem with the mech jumping when the suspension is activating. i am playing with housing lengths, but am wondering if anyone has experienced the same issues.

My wife's Blur has no problems that she didn't have with the old Superlight. Often enough full suspension bikes have issues with housing lengths being too short or too long and causing the bike to shift when the suspension cycles. Or the rear end is more flexible than a hardtail and causes the cable to tighten or loosen when it flexes sideways and shifts. Usually all that's needed a minor adjustment at the barrel adjuster or a housing length alteration. But there isn't anything in particular about vpp bikes which would cause a shifting issue.
