Bearings in. A doddle. Freezer and heat again but really not that much heat, just so you can touch/hold for a short moment.

They might be! I haven't checked ADVRider on this particular story. What kind of problems?.Aren't those paralever bushes the same as those that caused problems on bikes on the ADV rider website.. ?
I don't think they are Neil. The ones on adv were just machined bushes to replace the bearings. These look to be better engineered with custom pins etcAren't those paralever bushes the same as those that caused problems on bikes on the ADV rider website.. ?
The ones on ADVRider you mention.
From memory were just Phospher Bronze bushes from Rubber Chicken Racing.
The last time i looked at that article, it seemed to me that there wasn't much benefit and some had converted back to regular roller bearings as original.
These how ever look better than both.
The cup will stay in place, filled with grease, pump appropriate grease through the pin which will then fill the cup.
There will then be a filler of grease between the pin and cup which is how lubriacation works - a fluid medium between two working surfaces.
Do you mean the phosphor bronze versions?The bushes are no longer available from MW. I wonder why?

I see that I started this thread almost exactly 2yrs ago.
I'm pleased to say the bushes remain spot on. Not one iota of discernable play (I can't 'feel' any movement whatsoever). I had the torque bar off just a month ago to try and get a little more grease in. I couldn't. And the FD moved up and down very smoothly.
So a thumbs up from me. Oh, that's 2 winters, two 3k+ Italy trips and some commuting. Roughly 15k miles.
Agreed. I'm not even half way through what should be a much longer life expectancy than 30k miles (IMO).The OEM BMW ones usually last for 30k, so come back after another 15k and tell us how you are getting on

That sounds more like itMy original bearings have been in for 16 years and 70k miles Been greased a few times over the years though .
Any update of miles/wear of the MW bushes????
