Bringing this thread up from the abyss as it saves making a new one!
Right so I have had the most annoying click that only happens when I stop or pull away quickly, it will do it once then nothing pure silence. I have been chasing it around to no avail but after finding this thread I am near certain it must be the rear hub bearings on my Primato's. Today it started making a slight noise as it got wet the other day, after spending some time cleaning/re-lubing the chain and giving the bottom bracket a little blast with GT-85 I notice that the rear wheel doesn't turn as freely as I would have expected.
Has anyone had any success in changing the bearings themselves? I'm keen to give it a go as I don't like paying people to do things I can do, however I don't want to ruin a good hub.
It says above that they take 6001 bearings so these http://www.bearingboys.co.uk/6001-2RS_Sealed_SKF_Ball_Bearing-1844-p?shopping should be ok right?
Cheers
