Hope those offset bushings don't Rune his Banshee.

I'm wondering if they might actually, since Banshee's usually use roller bearings for all the pivots.

I'll retract that last comment, didn't realise they're just to replace the shock bushings.

Alas on my new Commencal v3 FR, the shock bolts are the same diameter as the holes so there is no room to offset anything and therefore they wont fit, pity as used them in the past and are a cheaper/easier way than using offset headsets.

Used them on my old Norco Sight and using them on my new Orange Alpine 160. No problems and a doddle to fit.

They did butcher the song a bit to make it fit. The Album really is quite something

Haven't stopped playing it since my last comment. Fantastic and will be great for the long drives to wherever the ride is.

Anyone here using them?

Jeron from Offset Bushings here - I'd say around 1/3 of our orders are actually from Pinkbike users, so there are plenty about!

What do they do?

jezzah (Jan 21, 2015 at 14:56)

@bikehard11 - they slacken your head angle and lower your bottom bracket height. Effectively making the bike more stable at higher speeds / on steeper tracks and allow you to hit corners harder as you'll have a lower centre of gravity.

bikehard11 (Jan 21, 2015 at 15:22)

Why haven't I heard of them?! That's a pretty sweet option to have..

jezzah (Jan 21, 2015 at 15:23)

@bikehard11 we're a small company producing them, we have sent them all over the world for the last few years however. You can find out more at www.offsetbushings.com

Cheers!
