My suspension dogbone on the Yeti cracked. Got a new one.

I purchased the 2008 Yeti 575 frame in 2015, used obviously. I switched some components from my carbon hardtail to this frame and rode it for a year or so (here’s the finished bike earlier in 2016) Then one day i noticed a hairline crack in the doggone, where it connects to the bushing.

So I took the bike to the Yeti dealer in my area - Ascent Bycicle Studio. I asked them also to perform maintenance on the Fox RP23 shock. After disassembling it, they told me that the shock had no rebound fluid left in it. I knew the shock was leaking, so I told them to get it fixed. They didn’t have the right kit to do that, so they sent it to Fox. Fox didn’t have the right parts to get it services as well. Wow. So I am without my bike for a month...
