Shox re-bushing ????
Hi all, has anyone here had to replace their shox bushes ? I've a set of avo's that have a 7/16th hole (11.03)on them, but my bracket is
approx 10mm and I can't get a drill in to re-drill it bigger, so I was thinking of changing the metalastic bush to a smaller bored one of 10mm,
any thoughts ??
Cheers
Jason

i need to do this too, as my bushes have sagged drastically. Was thinking of removing the full lot and either replacing or maybe get a spherical
bearing to use.

it might be easier to find someone to turn some tight fit sleeves to set the holesize down on a lathe?
