• The condition of the bearings, pivot axles, and spacers should be inspected
periodically. These are normal wear parts so plan to have them replaced as
they wear-out.
• To inspect the bearings, remove the pivot to expose the bearings. There are
two bearings in each dropout. Rotate each bearing with your finger. The
rotation should feel smooth without binding. Each bearing should be fixed
securely in the opening. Check to make sure each circlip is seated in the
groove.s
• Inspection frequency should be based upon how and where you ride.
Evidence of damage would be excessive play, visible wear, or corrosion of
bearings.
• If you find any damage to the parts, discontinue riding until all the parts
(bearings, pivot axles, spacers) can be replaced. This will help prevent
damage elsewhere.
• Do not re-use removed bearings; if removed replace all bearings with new
ones.
