Does anyone know if its possible to buy a neadle roller kit for a 2007 Stumpjumper FSR frame?

I had neadle rollers on my Enduro, but the stumpy has the shock eye in direct contact with the Link pin, without a shock bush. It just doesn't seem like a good design to me, as I'm thinking its either going rattle and wear the piston out or its going get stiction?

    Are you sure about not having a bush? Sounds wrong to me. The needle roller bearings are cool, but standard fox bushes work fine too.

    Its a 15mm pin and the standard fox internal with bush is 12.7mm so it wouldn't fit. The triad I removed had no bush in either.

    How odd - Ive ever heard of a shock without a bush. But hey, might happen I spose. I'd call Betd and see if they can sort you out.
