there was a lot of play in the bushes after only 3500
miles but they held together until they finally clunked their last after
8500 miles. |

They've been on this bike for 3500 miles but they'd been
done about 3000 miles on a previous bike before this. They're
still working perfectly, no play or leaks and have never been serviced. |
