  2. Just get a nimbus frame...Dont get lollipop bearing holders, theyre not
    as strong in my opinion.. The main cap bearing holders are way easier
    to work on aswell.

  4. That you would have to ask someone else...You may have to buy a bearing
    puller to get them off.

  5. if the bearing holders are aluminum, you can get them off without a
    bearing puller by cracking them...you wont need them any more anyway
    and the bearing will not be harmed.

    let me know if you want to do it, and will tell you how in more detail.
    it would help if you knew for sure if they are aluminum,,,Savage is
    just a name and it has been on unicycles with both steal and Aluminum
    holders.

    ok, read all the posts by me (jagur. my older acct.) in this thread.

    http://tinyurl.com/zxzaf

    in the pic you can see the lolly's on the ground after the hacksaw and
    wedge (or fat screwdriver) process.

    the tools you need are nothing more than a hacksaw blade and a medal
    wedge of some sort to lighty pound into the space made by the
    blade...the lollys will crack and fall off easily.

    DONT HACKSAW INTO THE BEARINGS! thats the only thing to NOT do...just
    cut a line and pound in a wedge then work it till it cracks off.

    the bearings inside your lollys are the standard 40mm size therefor
    will fit perfectly into your New Nimbus frame...

    (that thread link contains conversation about Pashlys and Miyata
    lollys...NEVER mind that...those are differant and are not relivant to
    your cause.)

    bottom line here is: if your lollys look like the ones in my pic
    ...this will work, with no harm to the bearings (DONT CUT TO DEEP!)

    let me know how it goes and if you need any more help.

  8. Why not find a local bikeshop or motorbike shop with a
    bearing/clutch-plate puller and ask them to remove the lollipops for
    you, it only takes 2 minutes with the right tool.

    sure you could pay to have it done or you could do it the way i did it
    for free and have fun working on your own stuff,,

    also, if you used a bearing puller the bearings would come off the hub
    with the lolly's then you need another tool to get the bearings out of
    the lollys..after that you would need to lock-tite the bearings back on
    the hub! (much more than 2 minutes)
