Getting to grips with the damper with a press sausage

The bike is working perfectly, but is there a constant judder? Then it's usually a worn shock bushing. Changing it doesn't have to be a big fuss - with a new, clever fitting aid from the south of Germany.

Pressing in, out and around damper plain bearings and damper mounting bushes is a tiresome topic for many mountain bikers. All too often, they experiment with various nuts from the ratchet box and look for suitable washers, only to end up with a sweaty, dirty plain bearing only halfway into the shock.

The accessories specialist Trickstuff from Freiburg in Breisgau has now put an end to this. The so-called press sausage ensures that both mounting bushes and plain bearings of rear shock absorbers can be pressed in and out without any other special tools.

Only a 5 millimeter Allen key is required for all the work on the plain bearings or bushings. The bushing tool called Presswurst is suitable for all mounting bushes with a continuous 12.7 mm diameter and 8 mm inner diameter up to 50 mm wide. As well as for all plain bearings with an inner diameter of 12.7 mm and a continuous outer diameter of 15 mm.

The scope of delivery also includes the practical press sausage box, in which not only the tool, but also all plain bearings, seals and bushes can be stored. The press sausage is not suitable for pressing in and pressing around frame bearings or other ball bearings!

The 100% vegan product is now available for specialist retailers from distributor Element Sports Trading GmbH.
