Hopefully that's all I need to say :wink:
alex yates said:Epic fail as usual. Wrong bearing for this application. Roller bearings are designed for spinning at high rpms without creating friction, not for rotating about 10 degrees everytime it moves. I have a mountain bike shop next to me and the guys there spend all their days pressing new ball bearings in bike frames (on the suspension parts). It's quite obvious the races are just gonna shatter with the load that's put on them when some 40 year old bloke's flying down a bumpy hillside on his push iron. :nooo:
There's a few things in life bloke's get a hard on over, even though they're not sure why and most of the time used in the wrong application:
CNC machined
Titanium
Roller Bearings
I could name many more but my tea's ready :wink:

They fit ball bearings to remove any stiction in the movement of the suspension. This gives the best ride out of the box, and in the shop floor bounce test, but of course they wear out quick and rust up. This means they can sell you another one in a couple of years.
