Jacovdw Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 Hello everyone!I am extremely new to the MTB scene and have acquired a pre-owned Rocky Mountain Element 930 (2012) as my starter bike. I took it for a full service and they managed to get everything in top shape except for the ABC bushings on the rear shock (no stock). Can anyone point me to someone who can source these ABC bushings for me? Techie says I have about 6 months or so before needing to replace. Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance!The bushing kits are available directley from Rocky Mountain ( Canada ) and can be ordered off their website ( bikes.com ) . Be aware that one should have a LBS that is familiar with these bikes and pivot kits so as to avoid any issues down the line.
DieselnDust Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 Oh, you're looking to buy bushings.From the title I thought you were in a bit of a pickle..
Jacovdw Posted February 19, 2019 Author Posted February 19, 2019 Thanks everyone!Not in a pickle anymore DiesInDust!

Do you by any chance know an LBS in Johannesburg that know their way around Rocky Mountains?
hansolo Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 Hi Jaco There is a pretty good manual around for bushing service on the Rocky Mountains (I do the pivots on my Instinct myself). Send me a PM with your email address if you are interested and I can forward you a Dropbox link. Hans

From a few years back the guys at Tool-Up Cycles in Midstream and the guys at Trailwolf at the Wolwespriut trail park were definitely the choice shops
