  1. Where can I buy pivot bushings for my FS (Trek Fuel 90)?
    The LBS was gonna charge $45 for 4 plastic swingarm
    bushings and for 2 main pivot bushings ($30 for these, that's
    why)!

    Try www.mcmastercarr.com

    It's an industrial supply warehouse, that carries just about every
    type of screw, nut, bolt, washer, bearing.....whatever, including
    tube, rod, and sheet stock of just about every material imaginable.

    It's highly likely though, that these are proprietary parts made for
    trek, so you may be SOL. You _may_ be able to come up with emergency
    alternatives at Mcmaster in that case, but it would never be an exact
    fit.

    Many years ago I had a Proflex 853 - elastomer rear suspension. A few
    years later I tried to get a replacement bushing but they had gone a
    couple of generations past that design, and I couldn't find the part.
    I bought a Delryn rod of the right O.D. from Mcmaster, cut it, drilled
    it, and used it. I also had enough of the rod to last a lifetime of
    replacements. Too bad the swing arm cracked a couple of years later.
