In the Spirit of Christmas, I'd like to 'Ask Santa' for some purely-fanciful presents.
Dear Santa:
I'd like a:
Carbon 5.Spot,
-150mm Travel
-Room for a CCDBa
-Journal bearings
-One piece carbon rockers with lateral play adjuster
-68* HTA
-13.75" Bottom bracket height (I live in New England after all, but you knew that)
-26" wheels please, but 650b is OK.
-Thru Axle
-External cable routing

Oh and a DHR too!
Thanks Santa.

The bushings never need adjustment once they're the proper length. It's really easy and they're designed to be user serviceable. You have one where the inner bushing is too long, rub the end on sandpaper until it's only a hair too long.
It'll be a sad day when the 5 Spot is made of carbon. It really doesn't fit the model of a purely functional workhorse, style be damned. To each his own I guess.

This hasn't been my experience... I have lateral play develop on a regular basis and as a result I end up shimming the rocker link to eliminate it.
And I currently own a 2011 5.Spot and I think the allow model should stay alongside the carbon version. Different horses for different courses.
I hope Dave has a relaxing holiday from all of us Turner aficionados. Let the hounding resume in the New Year, then we can continue the relentless pursuit for our new 650B and 29r carbon offerings. Rest now Dave - the New Year is coming soon. Poor guy.
