Chris, Are you talking aboot wanting to buy a splitfire with a pivot bushing already installed? or wanting to find a pivot bushing to use for a modification?Chris Barrett wrote:I've thought about buying one, sure. But I need someone to make it before I can buy it.

I will not divulge who is using these, but they are on the podium regularly this season. We are still testing however, and have not decided to go into production with these.
Other then the wedging what mod's did you make to the Splitfires? Did you add a spherical bearing to the hanger? if you did is it possible to post some pictures?Johan Thiel wrote:I've just modified 2 90mm and 1 107mm front and one 90mm rear.
So far I can only say that they behave beautifully. Quicker turn, yes, but also more precise.
I’ve also lowered my wedging to 16 dgr, in front and flat rear.
So if anyone have any thought … just try it.
I might take you up on your offer, but I'm gonna wait until winter. I don't want to be with without my board while the weather is still niceJohan Thiel wrote:I get the bearing for 20 usd and then some work so around 40 - 50 usd plus shipping cost
