Title: tuff 24inch bearing question
Post by: DoubleD on March 28, 2009, 08:07 PM

restoring the bearings of my 24inch tuffs
in the front all went well
it has lose ball bearings

now i want to do the rear ,and there are sealed bearings in them ...
is this right ?, or should there also be a lose ball bearing set in it
