so i thought I had seen the last of crap bushes o n the stumpy but no.
5 rides'ish in on the 5.5 and the familiar play is starting already - so Im assuming it has the same nylon press fit hula hoop style bush on the RP23. utter sh1te

Does no1 else get these problems or waht, cos it really bugs me. cheap fix but lota faff and far too frequent for my liking.
Has anyone tried the BETD roller bearing mod? the strong bushes are ok, but its still the nylon bush that goes...

    the RP23 has metal bushes in it. look to another problem.
