original's bushings

[petej]

they say they need to be changed as they wear, but is this normal?

[tyler87]

No, no it is not.

How old is that bushing?

[petej]

6 months or so

[tyler87]

In that case it's not so bad.

Well, usually people expect things to last a bit longer then six months. Esp. at the price they paid for originals.

No doubt!! Not a good looking photo, even if it were longer than six months.

That's a scary break. I rebuilt mine after a rain ride, and in only 2 months of riding them, they were already gouged and scratched where the two cams meet. I think Original might have to do some perfecting to the Nylon to get them half as reliable as urethane bushings. I realize they will never even be that reliable, but I'd like to see them last a little longer then they do. My $.02.

Some people ride hard, or more frequently, and they just wear out quicker.
