Easton Haven Wheels- bearing spacer install kit if anyone has one?
Hi All,
I bought a set of Easton Haven's and subsequently read about the bearing issues they'd been having on the rear hub (I think some other eastons use the same hub/bearing setups).
I managed to get my hands on the Bearing replacement upgrade, but they didn't have the "BEARING DRIFT KIT 15 M1 BEARING SPACER – Part# 8004015 (This is the tool kit. Shops need just one of these)."
Servicing Time ATAC XS pedals
I spent this morning replacing the bearings and bushes in two sets of Time pedals and thought I'd share for anyone else that maybe running these pedals. Over the years my Time's developed some play so I thought I'd replace the internals myself.
Here is how I did it:
1) Remove the end caps. I improvised using two small screwdrivers but a set of circlip pliers will probably make things easier.
2) Remove the nut on the end of the axle.
3) The axle is quite snug in the bearing. You will need to use a drift or similar to tap out the axle.
Giant Trance X3 2009 - Suspension Pivot bearings.
My trance has been a little noisy and further investigation of the causes has narrowed it down to bearings in the main pivot.
Anyone got any ideas on replacing the bearings?
Bearings rolling very rough on one side, so I have tried to repack with grease and see if that is going to help. To be tested!
I would prefer to just replace them...but am not that mechanically minded, otherwise I take it down to the bike shop....
Cheers
Shano.
Bearing replacement
One set of the bearings in both my headset (Ritchey Pro Semi-Integrated Press Fit) and in my bottom bracket (Shimano XT Hollowtech II) are starting to make crunching noises - so I guess both got dirt and water in and corroded the bearing or the race. I have tried cleaning and lubing and that does seem to help for a few rides but I suspect the bearings are gone.
