Fox rp2 Bushings

Paulkingk

Hi guys how long would you expect the Shock Bushings to last on this shock? I replaced mine maybe in about March aprill and have just noticed a small amount of play starting to develop again. I ride xc with some jumps and drops and am doing 70 miles a week on the bike?

How long is a piece of string.

Sound fair to me.

Depends where you cut it. I take it Bushings are all much of a muchness, are there some better quality ones than others or not really

Well something has to wear. The bush or the shaft. Shock position effects how fast they wear as well.

I stuck these in together with the ss reducers. No idea if they last longer (the originals lasted a few years) but who can resist Hula Hoops?
