I just got a cane creek DB air for my Turner Burner and was wondering if anyone has put offset bushings in one. I pulled the Burgtec bushing out of my DHX air and it didn't fit...I assumed everything out there is 1/2" eyelet...guess not...anyone know where I can get an offset bushing for this thing? The burgtec is really nice but they don't list compatibility with cane creek...

Excuse me, can you measure bare shock eye diameter, for me?
I've always wanted DBA for my Glory, which needs 15mm shock eye, to work with co-pivot, but I've never got precise info from CC about it...

The ID for the "regular bushings" are both .5". However the ODs are different. Most CCDBs will use a 14.7mm OD bushing or ~14.7mm eyelet ID.

I'm not familiar with the Burgtec ones but I imagine they retain/are installed in the shock's standard DU bushing. If so, I don't think there should be any issues.

You're out of luck. Cane Creek makes a DB coil (2.75x8.75") for the 2010+ Glory and a DB air (2.25x7.875") for the 2010+ Reign.

I may be confusing some shock hardware terminology, but I have one of the Polish Proshock offsets, and I switched it from my Fox Float CTD to a new CCDBa just fine. I actually tend to refer to it as an "offset pin", rather than a "bushing", but regardless, all I had to do was order Cane Creek's 8X22 hardware and it fit fine. The eyelet OD for the CCDBa is larger than the Fox eyelet OD, but with the Cane Creek reducers the ID was the same. Is the Burtec offset bushing not just a straight pin with the bolt bore drilled offset from center?

Yeah I guess the wording is confusing. The bushings aren't offset. The "pin(s)" or shock hardware is.

I have an offset pin for a DB, from Proshox on eBay. I think I just told him the application when purchasing and it works fine whenever I use it.

There are a couple guys on ebay that make custom offset reducers. It might take a couple weeks to get them but they're cheap.
