Lee Cable Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 yea, that'll be not enough grease, and to much grit, but im sure someone will correct me.Get a new bb?From Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impacted. Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Maybe the bearings are knackered? It has sealed bearing so grease won't do shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 isn't it possible to replace the bearings in try-all bb's? you can open sealed bearings in order to grease them you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grantham Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 You can take the bearings off the axle, you have to break the green bit off to get the bearing off though, ive done it a few times, just wack a new bearing on, then put the green bit back on.

sammerz Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 A large weighty object No seriously, i aint sure but mine did that...so i sprayed a small amount of wd40 on the actual axel where it enters the green shell and it seemed to do the job >>Sam<< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The enchanted broomstick Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 avoid the silly WD40 comment, this is absolutely not clever in the slightest for an area where you are planning on keeping grease! By that i mean WD40 will eat the grease for breakfast, yes it will feel nice to start with but that will soon be replaced by uber crunchyness!AVOID!stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
