build thread: klein mantra hs3540 5kW 70km/h 20" (done)

Hi izeman, this is an excellent idea and excecution on the klein. Very well done. I'm definitely jealous of the skill to remake the swingarm!

I have a query: what are the bushings like in the mantra frame? I've never had mine apart, and they are still silky smooth. But the reason I ask is I am working on another single pivot, and it uses these oiless bearing sleeves, and coated alloy bushings.
I am trying to figure out what to expect for durability.

I expected a bearing, but the assembly comes apart like the mantra with a press, so maybe they are similar and I don't need to worry?

Thanks Sir!
