Rear bearings ?

Post by **peteabbott** » 11 Sep 2008, 17:12

Can someone advise me please. Going to replace my rear wheel bearings
1) I have castlated nuts ! ! How tight please
2) I have noticed that people have said "not GSF" for bearings. Why ?
Thankyou boys. I cannot find anything on the WIKI

The reason not to buy GSF bearings is they are crap and not just a little less quality they are truly a waste of your time and money I went down this road of not believing they could be that bad to my cost, give Brickwerks a look at, they sell real bearings not Chinese chocolate metal "pooh".

My advise would be to buy real bearings and also a Haynes manual. This isn't something to play around with, they're VERY tight.
