Need a complete new bushing set for my new shock and at £20 for a few washers and stuff, seems a little OTT. Are there any cheaper alternatives than what Fox/Mojo offer? BETD etc?
Shock is a Float RL and the frame is a SC Blur 4X.

the bushing itself is a DU08
tf tuned
take an old one (or the DU08 code) to your local bearing supplier, they'll have them in cheap as chips.
The simple alloy C-style DU bushings you'll get from a bearing shop do not last as long as the O-style plastic jobbies you get from BETD.
BETD myself 🙂

The price difference means that's irrelevent to me.
Sorry, should have been more clear. As well as the bushing, I also need the spacers that sit between the shock and the frame - would TF/BETD be able to supply those too for less than the £20 that Mojo charge?
I'd rather spend the £20 and get the proper kit. Its your suspension and frame here. Save the few pounds elsewhere.
You'll have to measure the reducer by removing the frame unless someone has teh same frame as you and has already measured it.
TBH You are looking at £18 + postage from BETD for the bushing and reducer. So if fox can supply you with one free postage for £20 then it'll be cheaper and presumably they will fit it for you so no need to buy a bushing tool? Unless you have to do it often then try Mojo for the easier option. If you want to do it yourself then go with BETD 🙂
