Sorry about your friend, Bob. A real reality check.....
This was a new bike so unless the factory built it with faulty bearings I don't see how that applies. Further, although I'm not a mechanic what part of the suspension uses bearings? Wheel bearings and a steering head bearing for sure but what else? A faulty valve in the front fork?
