I have done 1,110km with 35,128m of ascent on my M10, all very rough enduro riding and through some very nasty winter conditions in Scotland with snow and lots of mud. Last week I noticed the rear end had some lateral movement in it. Took it to my dealer and they changed out the main pivot bearings which were completely wrecked and totally rusted. This has resolved the issue. He told me it was a real pain to change them out as the rear brake/speed sensor cables run right past the main pivot access area. He had to pull both cables to access the bearings which is not ideal and was worried about damaging the speed sensor cable as its pretty thin. He has changed bearings on a few Occams which have an identical lay out but without the cables in the way and they are easy. The LBS were fantastic and only charged £14 for the bearings but are not looking forward to this if its a 6 monthly thing!
1: Has anyone else had to change bearings?
2: Anyone got a better way of doing it?
