My 2009 bike has been making a loud cracking sounds at time and on striping down the rear suspension some of the bearings are shot. You seem to be able to buy bearing kits either £25 or £50 . Are the dearer bearings better or do you just buy the cheaper ones and change them more.

Use kaesae on here, he supplied my Anthem X kit a couple of years ago and they were excellent quality.

This is auction.

The rocker bearings can be a real pig to get out as they have a lip behind them making them have to knock out

I have ordered some bearings from Kaesae and have made up some aluminium inserts to pull on the bearing and some acetal plastic sleeves to fit against the frame to pull the bearings out of the frame and rockers arm which seem to have worked well and all the bearing have come out in one bit and the plastic sleeves do not have looked to have marked the frame paint. Glad I still have my lathe in the garage. Nearly all the bearings are in very poor condition.
