I wonder if you can help me with this? I have a Marin East Peak 5.5 2012 model.I purchased this bike new in March this year and the seatstay bushes have worn out already. (Where the seatstays join the chainstays).I have tried numerous places to get them, my local bike shop (marin dealers!) and even the Marin Bikes web site...nothing listed! I have also tried other web sites for bearing/bush kits but they only stock kits for marin quad links . I'm afraid I will end up ruining my frame.Any advise would be appreciated.

Yeah Cooldad I thought that too, but apparently they only guarantee the pivot bearings and not the bushes!My local Marin "Pro" Dealer was totally unaware of the lifetime policy on bearings..i had to quote it to him from a recent review in one of the mtb mags! It's my first full sus bike,which I love riding but the complete lack of manufacturer's back up is really starting to get on my wick! Can anyone suggest where I can get spares from?0

These guys are the distributors, but they wouldn't normally deal with the public - you could have a whinge about your LBS though. Sound a bit rubbish.

My trusted local Marin dealer/bike shop had gone under, leaving only one horrible place locally, with a horrifying reputation. I called ATB, they understood, and offered to deal with an alternative place.
They've never not been helpful.0
