Polar Bear 180mm Pivot Cup Size Problem

Hi Guys,

A friend gave me some 180 Polar Bears a while ago for my 21st, and the very first time I stepped on them I realised the pivot cup is too big, allowing the hangar to move around inside the cup instead of pivoting with the king pin. I haven't ridden them much since because I haven't had time to figure out what to do with them. Apparently this is not a unique problem to Polar Bears, so I was hoping someone who might have had the same problem can suggest an appropriate pivot cup with which to replace these? I have some of the biggest chunkiest Khiro pivot cups, which I found are too big to sit in the baseplate of the Polar Bears

Cheers.

Try using bit of automotive heater hose.

Car parts store should give you an off-cut.

Thanks for the advice mate, I happened to duck into Basement and pick up the smaller size khiro pivot cups and they work a treat, but something homemade like this was to be my next bet.
