Souring Rocky Mountain ABC Bushings

Recommended Posts

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!

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.

Thanks for the heads-up. Do you by any chance know an LBS in Johannesburg that know their way around Rocky Mountains?

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.

Not sure about JHB as i havnt been that side for a number of years.  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
