I have some 2008 Revelation's. The bushings have worn, the upper air side so much so it has worn the anodising off the stantions on an area around 40mm*70mm. When I've checked before (not so long ago) there has been no play in the bushings, now there is.
Anyhow, I have access to a set of little used Recons (the trail/AM version) which share the same lowers/bushings/stantions AFAIK
An obvious thing to do would be to use the recon uppers (for the stantions) and lowers (for the bushings - I don't have the bushing tools), the issue being the Recon is short of a steerer tube (a weightier steel one anyway)
If I use the Recon lowers (for the bushings), What chance do I have of trying nail varnish on the stantions in an attempt (in vain?) to build them back up somewhere near to what they used to be?
The negative air (but not positive) is leaking quite a lot over the course of a ride too, presumably the worn station/bushing is causing the leak?
I could limit the affect of this by using the solo air spring out of the recon, losing air out of both +ve and -ve (as it balances pressures itself) rather than losing only out the far smaller -ve chamber over a ride, I'd notice less of an affect?
I'm guessing knocking the alu. steerer tube out of the revelation uppers and bashing into the recon uppers (with a little of some kind of adhesive?) is at the very least contraversial?
(New revelation uppers at over £200 are the reason for this (waffle) of a thread .. )
