Fascinating. But I think you mean "bronze bushing."
I discovered I really prefer bars with roller bearings than plain bearings. Maybe because that’s what we have in the gym. I’ve ditched two 29mm bronze bearing power bars and bought a hybrid bar 28mm, centre knurl, mild knurling pattern and much prefer it. Is this common ? I’ve heard people say they prefer power bars because of the slower spin, particularly on bench, but perhaps because I’m not lifting anywhere close to where that might be an issue I’m fine with it ? The diameter at 28mm also seems right in the sweet spot for me. Milder, more passive knurling feels great.

Okay.
