Description: Each kit contains 2 x spacers, 1 x low friction poly bushing and stainless steel mounting hardware. If you want to change the shock hardware in 2 x shock eyelets you will need to order 2 kits.Like all bushing kits on the market with the exception of the Fox top hat poly bushes (which are a frequently poor fit) you do need a DU bush tool to fit these, there is no getting around it. If you try to use a socket etc. you will split the poly bush. We have 2 x tools in our listings for you to purchase to make the job go smoothly. The best priced, hardest wearing MTB Bushing kits on the market! 100% manufactured in Lancashire. As featured in Singletrack magazine. ***Please see the product photos for details on how to obtain the two critical measurements you need. You will need to know the bolt diameter (6, 8 or 10mm) and the width of the hardware.*** Fits all 1/2" x 1/2" rear shocks (12.7mm x 12.7mm) which includes Fox, post 2010 Rockshox, DVO, X Fusion. Cane Creek users please note that these are only compatible with the Inline range of shocks, and is not compatible with any other Cane Creek Shocks (Double Barrel etc.). If in doubt please get in touch.Free U.K. shipping, Worldwide shipping available.Made with tight tolerances (+/-0.005mm) and quality materials – stainless steel with acetal spacers. Every kit is supplied with a superior low friction polymer bush.How much of a difference will Offset Shock Mounting Hardware make to my Bike’s Geometry?There is no definitive answer to this as every frame design is different. 6mm 8mm and 10mm bushings have a 3mm, 2mm and 1mm offset each respectively.The amount of offset possible is limited by the bolt diameter in the 12.7mm hardware, hence why 10mm hardware has a 1mm offset.That said the range of adjustment is significant enough to be very noticable in all sizes. Typically you can expect the following average amount of head angle adjustment with a pair of offset mounting kits:Offset Shock Mounting Hardware Steel 6mm – 0.65 degree to 1.00 degree.Offset Shock Mounting Hardware Steel 8mm – 0.4 degree to 1.00 degree.Offset Shock Mounting Hardware Steel 10mm – 0.2 degree to 0.25 degree.The above figures are an average based upon a range of makes and models.If your rearshock only takes one set of mounting hardware, for example a Trek/Fox DRCV you can expect to halve those figures.Why Steel?Numerous mountain bike suspension bushes are available on the market made from materials such as anodised aluminium, brass, steel and grade 5 titanium – our aim was to produce the hardest wearing kits at the most attractive price of any retailer.All of the premium brands over the World choose either Stainless Steel, Titanium or hard Anodised Aluminium Alloy with industry giants Fox offering Stainless Steel in addition to their lower priced anodised alloy kits.We made prototypes from all of the aforementioned materials and subjected them to months of real world testing with various riders around the U.K. Of course there is readily available data for all of those materials online for tensile strength, Rockwell Hardness, density and so forth but our concern as mountainbikers is the partial rotation backwards and forwards within the shock eyelet bushing and how well the material holds up before changes to the critical outside diameter are noted. The two class leaders in this department are 303 Stainless Steel followed by Grade 5 Titanium.Titanium has a weight advantage over stainless steel but for perspective a 22mm x 8mm stainless bushing weighs 13g to 7.5g for a Grade 5 Titanium equivalent. However even though Titanium has a greater tensile strength it scratches and wears more quickly than Stainless Steel, we decided that a rider was unlikely to notice a 5.5g weight difference but they would notice when they had to change their hardware. We settled on Steel.So if Stainless Steel is so great why isn’t everyone using it?The only real issue with stainless steel is how difficult it is to machine. Even free machining 303 Stainless Steel is hard on tooling. Tool breakages and tool wear significantly add to production time and cost. Our tolerance on the outer diameter of our stainless steel parts is +/-0.005mm, extremely tight, to ensure that the part fits correctly in the eyelet bushing and is free to rotate without play. That kind of tolerance is difficult to maintain, even more so when working with stainless steel.Investment to reduce the costThe reason that our shock bushing kits are the most competitively priced on the market, despite being made of stainless steel is because we have invested heavily in machinery and process. We manufacture in quantities of thousands, not tens, this ensures that we have stock ready to dispatch and keeps the cost down for our customers.
