Saw on the main thread some members fitted offset bushes. How did you get on with them?

Work well on the downs, if you run a lot of seatpost you will be sitting above the rear axle on the climbs leading to a wandering front wheel on the climbs. It also drops the B.B. height a bit so watch out for ground strikes. I’m glad I did it.

I fitted them to my Jekyll, no real downside other than an increase in pedal strikes.

No complaints from me, if anything I'd like it a little slacker.

I run double on my pitch with a slightly under sprung RC4 and the rear traction is amazing (I also jacked up the front with a Fox 36 and a firmer spring)

Pedal strikes are real though, I slightly negated it by going to 170 and will probably go to 165 if I see a trade

you guys running a pair or just one?

Will I need a special tool to change them? Some vids suggest they pop out - some don't.
