Yes! sorry for opening another Avy thread but this one is for a real problem, the DU bearing (not the steel reducers) is worn and its time to change it, this part name is Garlock 07DU08, here in Spain its impossible to find, I was wondering how other European users have solved this before, anyone knows a place which sells online Garlock bearings??, I found a place in the USA but they dont sell such a small amount of money, BTW, I ordered before some from a well-known web page in the UK because they claim they stock them BUT either they sent me the wrong size (they send me Fox size) or they dont know that Avy DU bearings are smaller in size, in the web page says that Avy, Fox and 5th Element are 1/2" (which is wrong in terms of diameter of the DU bearing), I also wrote Craig (Avalanche owner)about that a couple of days ago but no answer has arrived yet, so any help will be more than welcomed!!, Cheers!!

I send my Avy for service once a year so I guess Craig would replace it if worn.
I deal with Garlock for seals for work.

BANRIDER, before you do anything, do this first. Go to a motocross shop and get them to order CR85 bushings. They are the same thing. I just ran into the same issue getting the new 45mm uppers and triple lower crown (get it if you're sick of you're fork twisting) and have had no problems at all. A moto shop will be able to get you these far easier and cheaper than it would be sending it back to Craig. this is also straight from him as well. You can also send you're fork into a moto shop and they can rebuild it for you if you dont want to. However, it is really easy to do.
