- Rocky Mountain ABC bushings
Does anyone have a clue where they can be bought from?
Posted 5 years agoAFAIK Evan’s were the last UK distributors for RM however stopped at the end of last year. They maybe able to point you in the right direction but can’t be anymore help then that I’m afraid 🙁
Posted 5 years agoYep, Evans. Failing that try emailing them directly.
Posted 5 years agoAren’t they a standard bushing that ‘IGUS’ produce? Would probably be cheaper than buying from RM. You could also try Silverfish.
Posted 5 years agoYou could try Icycles in innerleithen, Steve managed to sort something out for my mate’s flatline.
Posted 5 years agoPhil,
Log on to MTBR and get onto the RM forum on there. I’ve actually had some great customer service by getting in touch with the factory via that forum. I think it was Alex I emailed and they sent me a chainstay guard FOC.

Posted 5 years agoMaybe it’s no help even if you can buy the bushings from elsewhere…apparently the aluminium fixings wear at a similar rate as them so usually need replaced at the same time. 🙁
Posted 5 years agoYup, that’s exactly what happened to that Flatline I mentioned. They replaced it with a less worn one they had lying around out of another flatline. I thought it was poor maintenance but it turns out They All Do That Sir.

Posted 5 years agoah see what your after now…..
erm…. i might be interested in this too as i could do with them so when if give the bike a bearings change i will change the bushings!
Posted 5 years agojust messaged RM on FB too! to ask the question…. hopefully with it being public they might answer quicker 🙂
Posted 5 years agodo you have a link to those blown out drawings? so i can zoom in better?

Posted 5 years agothread i found on a similar topic!!!
Posted 5 years agothe bushing sizing are on the drawings… so i just looked up the sizing on igus site… but according to that MTBR thread one of the guys says the the bushings are specially made for them….. (could be the reason for the 5.5 size)
Posted 5 years agosorry got them the wrong way round….
http://www.igus.co.uk/iPro/iPro_02_0004_0000_GBen.htm?c=GB&l=en&LANG_IPRO=de
that one there on the website you can select a ID=12 OD=14 L=12 which is the sizing your looking for!
the other one
http://www.igus.co.uk/iPro/iPro_02_0004_0000_GBen.htm?c=GB&l=en&LANG_IPRO=de
you can select ID-12 OD=14 L = 5 (where the RM one is 5.5)
hope that makes more sense
Posted 5 years agoatleast you know that is an option if you dont hear back from RM or there prices are OTT!
Posted 5 years agohow worn are yours? what year is your altitude? and how often have you used it? just looking to get a rough idea when i should be checking mine. am just in the middle of my 1st shock and fork service (arrpox 30hr’s use) so would be good to know what else i should be on the look out from a fellow altitude user 🙂
Posted 5 years agodo you find the BB height alittle low? what was your reason for the 150 revs? are they good?
so far i have
went 2 x 10 (22t and 36t) with a bash
upgraded the wheels to hope pro evo 2 and mavic en321’s
fitted a KS i900r dropper
fitted a KMC X10-93 chain as i snapped the std shimano one after 2 rides!
fitted 780mm bars
fitted 60mm stem
just serviced and shim modded the RP2 shockyeah i agree its a great bike i love it! shame the evans no longer do them and that there are no RM dealers in the uk! 🙁
Posted 5 years agorp23 lucky sod….. lol
dropper is magic!! 🙂
who the ….. are greenover distrobution….. can’t find nothing about them apart from they go scooters and are in a unit somewhere with no website…. lol not looking too great for them if thats the best they can do over here!
did they say that they would be able to get the bushings for you and give you contact details?
Posted 5 years agokeep this thread updated i would love to hear how this turns out!,
ps, was there a reason you switched to rock shock from the floats?
Posted 5 years ago🙁
hope you get it sorted out keep it upto date… also tell them i may buy a full set to be prepared if the price is ok! these shouldn’t be an expensive part at all! they should be pennies!!!
Posted 4 years agohave they said when they will be selling RM’s? and when the website will be up and running?
