Evening Men,
Any thoughts or experience with phosphor bronze swinging arm bushes on a 4L0?.
I appreciate it is a "soft" material, but is it more likely to wear the spindle, as opposed to the standard nylon bushes?. Not sure what to do, as I assume the nylon is sacrificial to a degree, to the benefit of the spindle.
As ever, any input from you chaps greatly appreciated.
Regards bezzer

Just fit it and never look back
Even the crappy plastic bushes lived long.
Unlikely you will have the Bike long enough to needs worry about rebushing it ...again.

As bear said fit the bronze bushes mate. I have used bronze bushes on all mine 2 x lc 1 31k and never had any problems over 20 plus years.

As ever, invaluable advice steeley, makes sense not to have to worry every time the MOT comes around!. My main concern was the possible wear to the spindle, but from what you guys say the positives outweigh the negatives. Many thanks bezzer |

Thanks Steeley - will do, I've had the bike for 15 years and my 14 year old nephew already has 1st dibs on it!, so I'm 'futureproofing' it for him, Lol.
