Fox vanilla DU bushings

[tommo_nip]

what: Fox vanilla DU (eyelet) bushings
willing to pay: not sure
extra info: must be able to post to tassie

[lotec]

what length?

[j5ive]

They are all the same length lotec. You must be thinking of the spacers

Get in touch with your local bike shop, dirtworks.com.au is the importer and pretty much always has stock.

From memory (that is looking at the receipts for my DHX), the Bushings are $40odd, and the spacers are $9 per end. I'm just wondering though, how come one of my DU bushings is long while the other is short (nearly half the size).

[tommo_nip]

yeh they should be the same length i think ,anyway its for a vanilla rc, dont want to buy new because they cost too much.

just bought some du bushings for my fox rc
from dirtworks from my LBS

DU bushings have an RRP of $9.95, one per eye,
and reducers are $12.50 each, 2 in each eye.

sounds like you've got 'em mixed up, daver. the reducers are likely to cost $40 an end, and be of different sizes, while the du bushings would be nine bucks each. and if you've got different sized du bushes, something's seriously wrong.

i've got some fucked, flogged out ones that you can have for five bucks each. that's half retail! PM me if you're interested.







but seriously, wake the fuck up to yourself. they're disposable parts that cost 9 bucks. christ.

Got to agree totally with bradh here. FFS you want flogged out second hand bits to put on an expensive shock? Mate that it simply silly and you risk flogging out the eyelets of your shock too.

hey lbs told me $50 for the bushigns, must of included alloy spacers too.

i have so much movement in my bike its not funny, looks like i will have to ask my lbs again.

tommo, if your reducers—also known (inappropriately) as spacers—are ok, then you'll only need the eyelet bushes, which shouldn't cost more than ten bucks each.

but if your reducers are rooted too, then you need to bite the bullet and buy some new ones mate. there's a number of variables that you need to get right with reducers: width (i.e. gap in frame), bolt diameter and eyelet diameter (12.7mm/half an inch for fox). if any of these are wrong, you'll fuck shit up very badly. do you know all of the details of the reducers you need? even if you do, the chances of someone on farkin having a set lying around that are perfectly matched to your needs, and that are brand new, are slim to fuck all. (and you shouldn't even be thinking about putting anything but brand new reducers and bushes in your shock ... put old ones in and you'll fuck up your expensive shock real fast.)

a piece of advice: go back to your LBS, and let them help you out with what you need. not everything can be done on the cheap. and if you need new reducers, ask them if they can get you a stainless steel set. they'll cost you more, but it's a worthwhile investment, because they can reduce the risk of damage to your frame on really hard hits, and you'll probably never have to replace them, whereas alloy reducers will only see you through a few sets of bushes.
