DU bushing replacement with Needle Bearings
For Grant and all of us with suspension bikes, it looks like someone has come up with a replacement for DU bushings in your rear shock. Anyone want to give it a try and report how it works?
A new and better way to mount your shock
With all the engineering that has gone into modern day mountain bike suspension systems, it’s strange that more attention has not been paid to the mounting of the actual shock.
The next time you service your shock, take a moment after removing the top of the shock from the linkage to slowly rotate the shock fore and aft on the lower pivot. Note all the friction taking place. Remove the shock and extract the reducers. Not only will you find wear inside the DU bushing, but you’ll likely find scoring on the outside surfaces of the shock spacers as well, indicating the hardware is rotating where it’s not supposed to.
