Wheel Bearings

WHEELIES and hard riding take their toll on the bearings. Get a friend to help you lift the front off the ground then grab the top and bottom of the wheel and try and move it towards you at the top and away from you at the bottom. Even the slightest play means you need new bearings. Snatch from the chain in the beginning of a wheelie puts huge strains on the rear wheel bearings so you need to check them, too. New bearings front and rear cost around £75 fitted.
