O-RINGS Vs Oil seals in linkage
Just worth sharing. I last did my linkage and swingarm bearings nearly 4 years ago! Decided last night was the time to re grease, and the only bearing that was dry and shagged was the bottom shock bearing, the only one that had a 'proper' oil seal!
Long live o-rings!!!!

I think the O-rings just add a bit more friction. You have a larger sealing surface, thus better seal at the cost of some resistance. Is the difference noticeable or does it hinder rear suspension performance?? Not that I can tell, and definitely works better than typical seals which have allowed crap into the bearing rollers...
