[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 21551, member: 4034"] Doubtless Clever Trevor knows, since my forks are with him to have plastic bushes fitted. The reason I'm doing it in plastic is that when I sent my Manx teleforks to Maxton for rework, they replaced the bronze slider bushes with plastic, and explained why: because the enemy of fork compliance is stiction, and plastic bushes have much less of that undesirable quality than bronze. See also Laney Thornton's remarks in February MPH about the transformation he wrought by cleaning up his front spring boxes. And note that the man who pointed him in that direction was John Renwick. Who knows a thing or three. [/QUOTE]
