Ossa tr280i 2011 linkage stuff.

As it say. I’ve wear in a 2011 linkage. Not stripped nothing yet but what are my options? Top tips on ripping it all apart?

Can I use bearings instead of bushes? Am I likely to need pins etc? Do these parts even exist now?

If worst comes to the worst, I might see if I can get all the parts re made and to use bearings and seals instead.

Not a great idea to measure the removed bushes.Take the parts in (or measure them yourself) and have the parts located from the catalog.For instance...i think this is the rear wheel bushing on the 2011.  http://www.skf.com/group/products/bearings-units-housings/plain-bearings/bushings-thrust-washers-strips/bushings/table-bushings/index.html?designation=PCMF 353916 E

The part numbers are on the bushes.

   But I’m pretty sure they are listed on the OSSA forum.   I have them here also- but I need to get around to finding them and posting.  

 

Oh yeah, after 2015 the ‘middle’ link bushing is larger.

Thank you lotus. Mines circlips. I’m going to pick up the bushes and fit them. I love the bike and apart from slack in the bushes all I need is a new air filter and the restoration is complete. Even fitted my own home brew easy start kit.

What type of grease is working best on Ossa suspension linkage? Lewisport says to use waterproof silicon grease...from most of what I’ve seen on this forum, I believe most people are using a multi-purpose waterproof grease like Bel Ray.

thanks,

phil

I’ve used a number of different types.

Silicone with teflon

waterproof Belray

another waterproof (can’t remember the brand)

I didn’t notice much difference. If you ride in the mud a lot, they take a lot of maintenance. If you don’t ride mud/water- they seem to need minimal once lubed initially.

Hi Pindie, 

I recently aquired a 2012 TR280i that i am extremly happy with ?that also had quite some play in the bearing bushes, as i have experienced, it is a PITA to press them out(and in) and on top of that i have read myself in on the PCMF bearings (that have a few Micron!!! of PTFE lubricant) and they do not tolerate dirt of any kind and are not the best option for occilating movement.

as i have used technical “super plastics” before on some projects, i have decided to try an alternative to the teflon steel bushings.

the advantage of these should be that they are suitable for occilating movement, and they can cope with some dirt, and moreimportant, the complete 1mm wallthickness is the same low friction selflubricating material!

and also a small point they should be much easier to press in and remove

I will mount these and share with you how things are after some month of (ab)use ;)

Best Regards 

Chris
