You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
The Horst link bushes on my winter bike (an old Titus) are sloppy. They're imperial and after checking my usual bearing sources the only place I've found them this side of the Atlantic is direct from Igus. They've got 2 options in the right size - [url= https://www.igus.co.uk/product/67?artNr=JFI-0608-03 ]JFI-0608-03[/url] and [url= https://www.igus.co.uk/product?artNr=MFI-0608-03 ]MFI-0608-03[/url] but I've got no idea which one to go for. Any experts?
Another option is RWC who list them for $15 a set (4 bushes) plus about $25 shipping plus customs lottery, but I'd rather find them locally.
Most bike Igus bushes look like J material to me. Be warned Igus are very pushy and you'll get follow up emails from your area sales rep and if you use a business address don't be suprised if they turn up.
IGUS have decent information in their catalogue and on the website.
From this page, it looks like J or M are suitable.

I think the persistence of the sales team depends on the individual person. We had a really pretty guy for a while, but the latest one in our area doesn't get in contact very often at all.
Igus are very good at sending out samples if you only need a couple. (I've got a garage full of samples kits which I'm sure I'll use sooner or later.)

The first guy probably told the second guy about you.
Seconded the above. All I wanted was a few bushings to sort some Time pedals. I now have SO MANY samples and other freebies plus a ridiculous credit allowance thing. Does anyone here need £2,000 of pedal bushes. I don't.
colp

Ha ha. That was meant to say "pushy". I'm blaming the autocorrect 🤣
Yeah, the sample packs are pretty good, although I tried to get a couple of metres of linear rail & carriages as a sample once, but they weren't having it.
Thanks folks - so do you just fill in the sample request form and then dodge the ensuing onslaught of sales calls?
