It's more expensive than other options and it cold flows. Meaning it will work it's way out from under any continuous load (like from under the retaining bolt or rivet heads).Far better would be either Acetal ("Delrin") or UHMWPE, both of which are also available from MMC. FWIW, most of the chain guide stuff on mx cycles is made from UHMWPE, as are Coolant bottles. Both materials are used in various types of bearings. I've made rub strips and bushings from coolant bottles, but it's a bit thin for this app.TS"Teach you all I know and you're still stupid"-- Howdy Lee</blockquote>
