Expansion and contraction of the forks did cause problems on the earlier, i.e. smaller, versions of the bushings and only with the advent of the larger ribbed versions became far less of a factor. 'Pinning' problems with these thingees have a different sound than do problems with bushing insertion holes in the fork, which have a duller, less sharp, clicking sound. Hmm........... maybe an judicious application of CA ? :-) Jim Bryant (FL)
