Thanks Alan, that kills my theory...

Was going to see if I can get some bearings in there, as I don't like bushes  :o

Is that like a bearing in the hub is worth two in a bushing? ;D
Interesting idea anyway...

Cheers

Indeed!! ;)

The Goblin 700 came with bronze bushes, and the upgraded one-way just felt much smoother with its bearing support. The Goblin 770 has it as standard.

I used to think the same, you know preference for bearings, and they  may feel smoother than bushings, but I certainly can't feel the difference in autos. Rotor seems to spin very freely. You keep them oiled and they get very smooth after a few dozen flights. I have never wore out one, even after 750 flights.

Matt indicated that bushings keep tighter tolerances.
