gear linkage bushes mod question

Post by carlos9999 »

has anybody else fitted the bearing type mod to there gear cables. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWNX:IT
supposed to cure sloppy gear changes..!!
the thing is, i did this at the weekend and it has cured the sloppy feel but now i think its too tight especially gettin in to first.
so just wondered if anybody else has felt a change for the better or worse

ive fitted a set, not those but the gtschris ones. 4th has become tougher but its certainly cured the 'is it in yet' that there used to be.
