I'm just trying to work out if I need to buy a new pivots or if I can get away with just buying bushings for my Banshee Rampant and wondered if anyone could help me out.
I took the pivots out and the paint has worn away a bit. So I got the calipers out to take a reading of the thickness where they're worn compared to the middle of the pivot where there is no contact with the bushings. The average wear is about 0.2mm (the most one part had worn was 0.22mm) away from the thickness. The thickness looks the same by eye.
Do you think that this is enough wear to warrant replacing the pivots? Or would I be able to get away with just getting new bushings and keeping them lubed up to the max at all times from here on in. Just asking as a pivot set (which I think only contains one pivot and I would need two) is almost twice the price of the bushings kit.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
