Hey,
Just had my bike serviced and they've mentioned that the Steering head bearings are wearing. How hard would it be to replace them myself? The place quoted £220 for the job, which is a bit tight on current expenses. After looking at another site, i can pick up near bearings for £35, so I imagine most of the orignal cost is going on labour and vat.
On a side note, anyone in the sheffield area that wants free beer and doesn't mind spending a couple of hours showing me how it's done? Happy to pay aswell as I'm trying to maintain my own bike.
