Fox Shock Bushes

[brussel]

Vesconite is much harder than nylon is. Interestingly doing some reading I found that the bushes have coatings on them and they don't seem to be alu - too hard. Some riders have found the black coating ones to not last long and th red ones to last the longest. Here is a link to some further infohttp://www.msb-bearing.com/e-product-01-SF1.htm

 

 

 

seems the red surface is a ptfe (teflon) surface. Vesconite is much harder than plain teflon. But this teflon with fibre? I am not sure.

HI B

 

The machine shop just made the reducers, he made them to fit the bushes, as there was also slight ware on the bushes, but not enough to have to replace them.

OK so I machined both the bush and the reducers out of vesconite...lets see how it goes.
