Tips for cleaning cartridge bearing MTB pivots?
Can anyone recommend a good technique for keeping cartridge bearing
MTB pivots clean and quiet between overhauls yet won't dissolve the grease packed into the bearings? On my bike the pivots are sandwiched between linkages that make them difficult to access. Dirt gets in between the link faces and causes extremely annoying squeaks. But the bearings need lotsa grease to operate smoothly and tearing down the link to repack them is labor- intensive. Ideally I'd like to find some kinda spray product that I can squirt in there to flush out the dirt. Every cleaning product I've looked at has either solvents or is water-based which seems bound to cause rust/ corrosion. Any tips? |
