I picked up a 19" Boulder Bicycles Defiant Ti and need some help sourcing some new bushings for the rear triangle. Any ideas on bushings or bearings to replace the bushings which are crumbling (they look like they are brass).
I sent the rear shock back to Risse Racing. Jon

I bet Mike Varley in Point Reyes knows where to source brass bushings.
Can you pull them out and put calipers on them? |

I will tap them out and see if I can get them measured (I should own calipers but don't). Any idea how to get ahold of Mike Varley? Does he own a bike shop in Point Reyes Station? Cheers, Jon

On the bushings for the Boulder Ti Frame he suggested getting in touch with either Jerry Shuler (the original designer of the Boulder suspension frame) or IGUS which is the manufacturer of most of the bushings of the earlier suspension bikes. Thanks for the contact! Jon
