  1. I recently did a bike service for one of my friends. The Bike was due for major service and had to take the whole dual apart, the Bearings was the worst off in the bike, and a expensive exercise if you have to get them replaced. So I did some research and phoned a few bike shops around the Grater Cape Town area. i could not get away for under R 1000 for a replacement set, which just adds up the $$$$ if there are more parts to replace. I then searched the Bearing numbers and found the same bearings for a whole lot less and that fits my Pocket, So do Bike shops really make such a big Markup on the stock they sell to us and do we really need to spend that amount on bearings if you can buy the same set online for less. i have attached some photos of the original bearings that came out of the frame.
