Title: Tuff 2 advice, please
Post by: GavinKent on March 20, 2009, 07:24 PM

I was just washing my Tuff 2s that I just bought off Ebay and the bearings have fallen out one by one!  They seem to have come from inside the metal hub, under the rear sprocket.  Can I replace these and how do I get the sprocket off anyway?

Thanks

I'm not having much luck, no!  I was scrubbing them above the bath and I kept hearing these plonks - it was each bearing falling into the water.  I think I need to rethink my new hobby as I think I'm building a death trap!!   :2gunsfiring_v1:
