What's your long term results like with the yep? I had the alloy collar come apart on ride 2 and upper stanction now has play after a month.

Mine is ok, the collar is handtight (like Vecnum posts are too) and should be checked every couple of rides. Play is minimal on mine, much less so than on my Transfer SL which was wobbly to say the least.

Can you post a pic of the collar unscrewed? I think there were alloy threads glued to the carbon lower shaft. Mine came unglued and I think are stuck in the collar.

my transfer SL was developing a lot ot movement, so I put it in for a service. the upper stanchion section was replaced with a newer version which has significantly less movement

Thank you - as I suspected. My threaded collar broke away from the carbon shaft.

Sounds like a warranty issue to me?
