It's not new........but couch pic anyway ! Got the bike assembled yesterday and did some final touches and tweaks today. Ready for the weekend. Hoping for some good weather.

They are quite bad and the movement feels terrible, especially the two bigger ones on the main swingarm pivot. I Didn't realize how much time has gone by. I Built this bike in November 2018. Since then I have had some health issues and undergone three major surgery's and had a serous head injury a year ago. The combined time the bike was not used in my recovery periods is roughly 30 months. The shock and fork was serviced a couple of times over the years but this is the first time that I replaced the pivot bearings. I've covered roughly 12000km's with it.

The bearings arrived yesterday. I Fitted them this morning. I Have everything ready for assembly and should have the frame complete by tonight.

So after a couple of good rides in December I decided now is a good time for the "Bearing Job". I Stripped the bike and disassembled the frame. Removed all the bearings. All the frame parts is already cleaned and some scuffs and scratches polished out. The new bearings are ordered and should arrive on Monday. I Will post again when there are more progress.

I Prefer to not even buying something at Cycle Lab. Taking my bike there to have work done on it...................Never !

Thank you Droo. Very informative info and much appreciated. I'm competent and equipped to do it myself. The bike is already stripped. I've already disassembled the frame and removed the old bearings. I Am now busy cleaning all the parts and getting it ready to install the new bearings when they arrive. I Was more interested in which brand of bearings is the better to buy and now know what to get. Thanks again.

Thank you for all the advice. Looks like Enduro bearings is the way to go.

Hi everybody. My Pyga frame is in need of new pivot bearings. I See Cycle Lab has a good selection (including the one's I need). Any advice what to use and where to buy will be appreciated. John

I've never owned a Xbox. Only Playstations and a Sega Megadrive back in the day. Last year when Forza Horizon 5 was released on PS5 I bought it. All thought being a die hard Gran Turismo fan I do enjoy FH5 a lot. Lately I've also been thinking of buying a Xbox because sometime this year FH6 is being released but there is no mention when it will eventually be available on PS5.

Hi everybody. Has anyone replaced pivot bearings on a OneTen 29 frame recently ? Mine is due but I would like to purchase the bearings before stripping the bike. Thanks, John. EDIT. Any suggestions where to buy decent quality bearings will be appreciated.

Last December I was in the USA. At that time the PS5 Slim was just released there. Not being able to even pre-order it yet in SA I bought one over there and brought it back in my onboard luggage. At that time I was using a PS4 Pro with an upgraded SSD and all thought there is not a day and night difference, it does run quite a bit better than a normal PS4. My daughter was nagging me for a TV in her room so I donated mine to her and bought a LG 50" 4k unit for my gaming setup. The difference going from a 4 Pro on a HD screen to a 5 on a 4K screen was massive and worth every cent ! The PS5 Pro was also announced a week or so ago with the release date somewhere in November. It looks like it will be an impressive console. I Won't be buying it thought because it looks like it will have a good price increase over the current model and it won't be much of an upgrade for me unless I get a 8K TV as well.

I Hope those pink crocks aren't your Boet's as well

Load shedding really became a problem at my workshop. Years ago when load shedding started I built a 63kva generator. Works like a charm and everything goes on as usual. Fast forward a decade or so and it's become a nightmare running it for 2 to 6 hours a day with the last couple of year's diesel price. I Started using it less and less but that meant loss of income and, and , and........ all the rest of the problems I'm sure everybody knows. So same as at my house I sat down and started doing the math. The estimated saving on the power bill and diesel costs together with no down time in production looked good. So I decided to invest a small fortune in a solar setup. I Already knew the right guy for the installation so that was the easy part. The installation consists of 3 16kw inverters, each one running a phase. A 40kwh lithium battery and 72 545w solar panels. It's been in use for three months now and I haven't regretted it for one second. The panels give me close to 40kw of PV on most good weather days. That is enough to power the workshop and have the battery fully charged by mid day. My diesel supplier is not happy at all and neither my municipality.
