I have had some from offsetbushings.com on several bikes and it only works if you put it a place there is no rotation.

so would the off set bushings work on my frame?

Your only issue is bottoming out length. Remove your shock and measure between the shock bolts at full compression. Then work out how short your shock is when fully compressed and minus 7mm. If the shock figure is higher than the space figure, your good to go.

Hey guys,

Sorry for the thread revival!

I run Offset Bushings.com - if you have any questions please get in touch with me either through here or our website.

The Trance is a very popular frame to fit them to in fact!

In regards to turtlesauce2000's post - within the last year we changed to a new supplier for our brass rod. This is machined to very high tolerances in Asia and shipped to us - we then machine it to size along with our spacers.
Since the new material, we have not had a single reported complaint in regards to wear or any issues with our bushings. With thousands of happy customers so far who are loving our product, along with numerous magazines.

Hope that helps,

Jeron

Hello

cant remember exactly when i bought my last set, but confident it was in the last year.

The issue i have is of the brass ends rounding over meaning its impossible to remove the aluminium spacers to get the bushing kit off the shock. I ended up grinding them off.

I think the problem arose from the end of the brass pin not having a chamfered edge.

My last order was April 18 this year and they were much friction in. Tried fitting one on the back end on the shock on my Legend and it was so sticky. Even on the front where there is not much movement I could definitely feel the difference. Works great on my Canyon Nerve trailbike though as there is no movement on the bottom mount.

Mine's 31.8mm and 45mm in length. There's also a 60mm length available. Never seen a 35mm one.
