SB66 alloy bearings maintenance?

[samy]

Hello all SB66 owners,

After close to 2 years ride, my SB66 is becoming a bit flex between front and read triangle but no backlash yet when you move it with hand.

What is your experience and recomendation about what to change for maintenance? Bearings ? Eccentric? Master rebuild?
I'm a bit hesitant when i'm seeing price in the store !

• Eccentric kit £129.95
• Bearing kit £119.99
• or the big one Master rebuild £194.95

Thanks for your help

Take it apart and check each bearing, if the bearings are seized, then the bearings or the pivot pins will be rotating inside the bearings, at worse it will wear your frame. This has happened to me a long time ago with a different bike.

I was replacing bearings on mine at approx 12 months.

It will not hurt to take it apart and have a look
