You’re in luck. Because of the shock extender the 150's X2 already pivots on cartridge bearings. I suppose you could use them on the frame mount but doubt it would make any difference as that end of the shock rotates fractions of a mm.

The reviewer is holding it to it's intended standard. Which is being...more
