I have ordered a set of bearing which hopefully i will get by tuesday & i can fit them in the evening!. I can't have time off work as their short staffed & the public transport is crap so i will have to use my bike but i will be a lot more careful than i normally am. Just need to make a frame up to sit the wheel in when i remove them
To be honest mate, if your bearings are that bad, I'd not ride it at all. There's nothing you can do about it, you might be able to ride okay until they're replaced, you may hit a pot hole and get have them disintegrate, or they may just randomly collapse on you. Without seeing them it's hard to say, but personally I'd be asking mates for lifts or using the public transport, even if it is shit. You have an accident with those bearings, and you'll be screwed, big time.
