Jacoo Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Its time for a pivot service on my anthem, and ive been scared a bit by a few posts here where people had their frames damaged by "trusted" mechanics while removing and installing the pivot bearings. Apologies for a new topic but i cant find that thread again.. Could anyone recommend a person in pretoria who knows what theyre doing, and that is also reasonably priced? Also what would a reasonable price be for such a service? (8 bearings total)

porqui Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 How about giving it a go yourself. Not difficult at all even at 5 thumbs.
Jacoo Posted February 17, 2019 Author Posted February 17, 2019 How about giving it a go yourself. Not difficult at all even at 5 thumbs.At 5 thumbs or with thumbs? ???? Do you need a special tool? Bearing puller or something?
BaGearA Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 At 5 thumbs or with thumbs? Do you need a special tool? Bearing puller or something?Yes, rather leave it with a professional you trust Cheaptoools will ruin your bike, proper tools will cost 5 times what the service will cost Weigh up and decide what you'd rather do

MitchConway Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 Jacques at Cogent industries is an absolute professional!
porqui Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 Nope easy to do and tools easy to make with threaded rod - washers - and nuts.Buy better bearings at half the price from bearing supplies. So much on YouTube and Google
