I purchased this plus the 30mm NBK for a DHX2 equipped Capra MkII. There was a significant improvement in how smooth the compressions were on the bike after replacing both bushings with the needle bearings. The bike felt so much smoother through all of its travel. Chris was also helpful in discussing whether or not to get a NBK for both ends of the shock, but seeing wear on the through bolts I decided to replace both and very happy I did. This is a second part review to the 30mm NBK review. Additionally, it looks like the 30mm NBK will work with the rear La Sal Peak 2.0 shock mount so probably will pull it off the Capra to test.
Great product. Purchased 8x40 version to replace stock Rocky mountain eyelet bearings. The multiple included axle diameters gave me a perfect low friction, no slop fit. Unlike the original RM bearings that were too tight new and ate themselves in maybe 20 hours of riding. Easy to DIY, especially with the affordable "risk" brand eyelet press I bought elsewhere online.
For $50 this is about the best price-to-performance upgrade I've ever made for a bike and arguably one of the most precision-engineered parts you can buy. I had long heard good things about RWC products and I was blown away by how impressive the Needle Bearing kit was once I got it in-hand. The instructions are exceptionally precise (well above most you find in the bike industry) and the product is a huge upgrade over classic shock bearings and OE bearing kits (e.g. Rocky Mountain). The tolerancing and guidance on needle-bearing install alone are well worth the price of admission. About to order several more of these kits!
