January 22, 200620 yr How do i know when the bearings on the rear suspension linkage need changing? cheers
January 22, 200620 yr Usually when you take them apart to regrease them and notice they're rusted up soild. Overwise when your bikes on a stand, lift the back wheel up and feel for play.
January 22, 200620 yr suspension will be harder to compress and when riding over small rocks or bumps then u will feel them instead of the suspension taking it up. also if you take the back bearings out on the suspension i would change them even if they are in quite good condition if your bike is 1-2 years old. i take my suspension apart every month to 3 months to grease and check the condition of the bearings coxy
January 25, 200620 yr Author Cheers for that. About the play on the back end, Chris, How much approx should i expect? Plus i've never taken the rear linkages off and haven't got a clue about how to change bearings...anytips from anyone?!?
January 25, 200620 yr pretty simple if they are buggered then u will know and the pins will fall out ect and be all rusty they should just nock out by hitting them on the edge. Fairly easy job
