Looking to get a pair for my front swaybar. I've found a few complete sealed bearings available through bicycle shops, but I thought a member here made them or had them made...
Basically to use a complete sealed bearing I'd have to make a triangle-shaped housing for them to be in, then bolt that to the body in the swaybar location. It's that, or take a pair of swaybar bushing brackets, drill and braze zerg fittings into them and slot/groove/drill some bushings... Looking for the cheaper alternative of course. Bearings would be almost zero friction but zero impact absorption. Poly-graphite bushings would be medium friction and medium impact absorption. I've been looking for a way to maybe take a bearing and make a 1 to 2mm thick 'sleeve' that would ride inside a larger ID bearing, over the bar. Maybe work to absorb some impact and have minimal friction - similar to Elephant Racing's poly-bronze bushings... |
