[QUOTE="oexing, post: 121498, member: 1493"] Girdraulics not being my topic, but common girder forks need not be very stiff from friction in their bushes when all is well as designed. Maintenance and line- reamed bushes provided with all correct geometries you actually need these friction discs for reducing liveliness . Friction in typical bushes is not a factor, minimal compared to what you want from hydraulic dampers on teles or rear shockers. So I would not go for ball or needle bearings in girders as much as I like them elsewhere. Instead Permaglide or IGUS bushes , no grease duties with these. Vic [/QUOTE]
