While he’s at it. -when you change frame linkage bearings, do you open up every new one, grease then place into frame?6902-2RS
Repack with quality grease from day one. Think of the manufacturers grease as corrosion prevention while in transit. If you mangle a seal, bend it back and make sure that’s facing the inside. If you want higher maintenance but less drag, no seals facing inwards.
Lifes too short. Part of the appeal of Enduros is that they pack with high quality grease to begin with.While he’s at it. -when you change frame linkage bearings, do you open up every new one, grease then place into frame?
No. Its usually a pain to get a set of full complement bearings from a bearing shop. Much easier to hit up Duncan at diymtb.Are bearing shops a good option for most frame bearings too? I've been looking at enduro sets for my old Giant, not sure if there's anything particularly special in there.

DIYMTB are awesome for sure but I've got a local joint that is just as good. I've never walked away without the bearings I went in for. That's here in Sydney, surely there must be other places round like that?No. Its usually a pain to get a set of full complement bearings from a bearing shop. Much easier to hit up Duncan at diymtb.

Yes, hose out whatever is in there from factory with a pressure pack of degreaser, then repack them with marine grease. I have never had to replace pivot bearings which I've repacked.While he’s at it. -when you change frame linkage bearings, do you open up every new one, grease then place into frame?

This diagram determines that your bearings will be slow.
