I need to get some bearings for the set of Bontrager Race X Lite wheels that have been on the road bike over the summer. They were in good shape when I bought second hand off a friend, but the notched sensation from turning the axles highlighted that they needed new bearings. I’ve ridden them for another 12 months before taking them apart and getting the necessary spline tool to disassemble the simple, but effective integral DT Swiss freewheel ratchet mechanism. So tonight I headed up to see if Bearing Mart which was behind the now leveled Tom Garner garage site was still there and it is, so I’ll pop over for some new bearings tomorrow lunchtime.
