They are bushings not bearings folks!



Igus Polymer Bushings!

Get used to them, they take over every industry application and proven for 15 years in every heavy duty industry known.

They work, that's the sales pitch, just go ride!

But first for all the non believers out there, remember this...

Success, Awards, Fame, may all be yours one day! But the sad fact is nothing you do will be more popular and successful than a online shot of a piece of bacon taped to a cat!


Sad but true!

Tech tips for 08 pedals and 06/07

Here are the 08 Flanged Polymer bushings...

08 Internal Parts Breakdown...

These bushings are out from 06/07


This is my 07 pedal torn apart and in a diagram. I flipped the image in paint to match the 08 layout.
