Beartraps
« on: April 28, 2009, 02:12 PM »
I have recently won a pair on flea-bay.

They don't seem to run quite as smoothly as I thought they would. How easy it is to take them apart and re-grease them etc? Is ther a (repro) kit available?

Similarly, with the cages will they buff up? Can I get some more NOS ones?

In total fairness to the seller, they hadn't been described as perfect or NOS or anything like that.

Thanks  :daumenhoch:

If they are Suntour beartraps then they are as easy as a normal pedal to strip and re-grease.  Pics would be a good starting point  ;).

They are Hutch bear traps. They feel/ sound a bit gritty when turned.

If I knew how to upload pic's, I would................  ;)

Take the body off the spindle.

Remove dust cover on the bearings.

Clean out with WD40.

Pack with good bearing grease.

Replace dust covers.

Re-assemble onto spindle.

Should be loads better. :daumenhoch:
