Is it worth using the 8x30 mount bearings or are the standard steel ones still best?

The bearings are meant to be only used for the air shocks (you wouldn't be able to get the coil off the DHX2 if you had one fitted) but even then they prevent the air can from being removed... well done, Fox.

Hateful things anyway, never work properly as grit gets inside very easily and also cost a small fortune to install and remove as you need Fox proprietary hardware. Steer well clear and go with the standard Fox kit.

Presume the actual bush is pre-installed on brand new shocks.

It should come with the beige bushings already on the shock. But the Fox kit comes with a spare set anyway.

What do you guys think of the idea of my carrying an extra e bike battery in a frame bag and going on red trails such as gisburn and dalby forest, is it a dumb idea incase I fall and the battery potentially slamming on the ground?

I already carry an extra in a backpack (its an evoc one thats specially made for it with a compartment and a protective back on it to protect your spine incase of a fall)
