The Baviaans is made for a hardtail. Lots of "tar" dirt roads as I like to call it. I'm running a tire pressure of 1,8 at the back and 1,6 at the front. Just make sure you put your old 26er's saddle on your new bike
I use a hammer to remove the bearing and then I just press a new one in. Just gently tap it out from the opposite side. But I do agree, the Shimano system is much easier to maintain and lasts longer
