Hey guys,

My shock needs a new bushing (and probably reducer) at one end.
Since I havent got the tool to do this, how much does JD’s workshop charge to fit a new bush?
The shock is already out of the frame, so it should only take 2 mins…

I wont charge you to fit it. Do you have the parts? usually about £15 from memory, but i’l have to check, and we dont carry them all in stock

What is the average life of yer average bush then? Mine seem to last 4 months on an average once or twice a week ride. Mind you I’m not in the superflyweight category of rider....

Depends on the bike. DT shocks last ages! They have rose joints! $months sounds a bit quick to be honest, but if thats what its doing there int a right lot you can do. Have you tried the plastic bushes instead?
