Hey IAIN
Coming in on my side may not be a good idea, I am after all single tracks black sheep!
If you're cool to me I'm cool to you, if it turns into a sh1t chucking contest which is does all too often on single track?
All you can do is go with the flow, unfortunately!
It can be fun though!!
That said, those bearings will last a long time, I run EZO for the 6805 2rs bearings that are run for the main pivot point bearings on your frame.
I just serviced a meta 5.5 for myself you might have a lot of problems with the main pivot bearings and getting the cable through the rear swing arm on mine was a bit tricky.
Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend, I got a bike and I can ride again! finished it today!!!
Ridefree mate!
Kael.
