Hi

old Orange 5, very unlikely that the swingarm bearings won't be a pig (as they've never been done), so after someone who can sort it all out properly. Based near Reading and sometimes near Swindon.

Thanks.

Try this guy : thebikepimp.com

Used to use him when I lived in Reading , he's a proper bike nut and a top rider. Prices were reasonable to. I think he's based near Pangbourne but does do local pickups/delivery for free.

how about these guys http://www.mountain-trax.com/

They are located in Barkham near to Wokingham and are Orange dealers. They have always been very helpful when i have gone in.

Do it yourself. Orange will talk you through it and there is a good guide here http://www.cyclistno1.co.uk/features/maintenance/orange-five-pivot-bearing-service.htm
I did mine this year with no problems after 4 years use.

Thanks guys

diy skills are now + 1, easier than I thought, bike must be 6 or 7 years old and the bearings pretty much came out as documented, didn't have to hammer hard enough to make me nervous, bit of cleaning arm etc etc and now replaced and thorougly copaslipped.
