Du bearing has gone again. Has anybody tried them and can recommend them? They are £18 on the bay.

My alternative is to get a polymer style one off eBay and machine a stainless 1/2" shaft with some chamfered collars.

I got the low friction bushes when I kashima upgraded and custom tuned my shock , because of all the changes obviously had to pick out individual improvements but in my head less friction is better and when I bolted up one end of my shock before with old du bushes It was solid , with plastic it's almost no friction when fully Torqued up !!!
Hope it helps

I'm using those igus bushes with a brass off-set bush. No problems as yet. Had to go up 20psi on the shock to compensate for lack of friction!

I've tried needle bearings from enduro, wont bother with them again because they seize up with the slightest bit of dirt ingress.

Good grief. The fact that you had to add psi coz of no friction has sold it to me. Cheers buddy.
