Hi Chaps,

The BB Dw Link pivot shaft on my 5-spot is worn, which is causing play in the pivot.

I've emailed Greg at Turner, and Silverfish, but in lieu of a reply...

Will the increased load on the other pivots cause premature wear? And will I need to replace the other bushings if I carry on riding with it worn?

The play is equivalent to what you'd expect when a bearing is worn.

Cheers chaps,

Ricks

If there's more play in the system then you can expect more wear from the other pivots. How much will be difficult to say.
