    coming back from hernia surgery

    I recon your work is certainly tougher than mine mate, I'm a postie (motor bike). My surgeon initially said 2 weeks, which suited me as I would be off on nil pay, but the Doc my work uses wanted 4 weeks......between them they settled on 3. Cheers

    coming back from hernia surgery

    Mine sounds alot like your's, both sides, mesh, non key-hole. I was back at work in 3 weeks and commuting 20k. Gave it about 5 weeks before I rode XC. IMO the mesh is pretty solid and you'd probably handle a lot more than you think. These days guys play footy after 2 or 3 weeks and I did a...

    Problems correctly searing a tyre on to a rim

    Hi, having a few probs correctly seating MTB tyres (with tubes) on rims. They're not sitting evenly 1st time so the tyre wobbles a bit when spun. I usually end up getting it right by 1/2 deflating the tyre and pulling it across than pumping it up, then 1/2 deflating and pulling it across and so...

    How do I remove the bearing races from a Shimano XT hub HB-M788

    Yeh, on car hubs we were taught at college to take out the bearing race then tap out the cups. Anyway had to pop out the bearings individually with a screw driver, the rubber/plastic race won't come out with breaking it but I can see through the holes that the inner surface the bearings roll...

    How do I remove the bearing races from a Shimano XT hub HB-M788

    Ok, do I pop them out 1 by 1 with a screw driver and then take out the rubber race so I can inspect the inner cup's surface? or do I pop the whole cage and bearings out in 1 go to get a look at it?

    How do I remove the bearing races from a Shimano XT hub HB-M788

    Thanks for the reply blacksp20 There's is a couple of little marks on the cones I removed, I can buy replacements for those but if the internal surface is also pitted (can't see atm because of the bearings) it's a waste of time and money buying the new parts. cheers Mullet

    Hi I need to inspect the cones of my Deore XT hub model HB-M788 (front) and I'd appreciate some advice on removing the soft bearing races. I took out the hub axle and cones but the bearing races are preventing me from inspecting the inner running surfaces. The bearings are sitting in a soft...

    Struggling With CenterLock

    That's cause the 15mm front requires a different lock ring to the rear. There's not enough room for the cassette removal tool to fit around the 15mm axle so you need a Shimano SM-HB20 15/20mm Axle Hub Centerlock Rotor Lockring. You use a Shimano bottom bracket tool to tighten the lockring.
