I have a Marin Palisades Trail (2002) and the steering has got really
rough--on inspection the bearings are rusted, replaced them but still rough.
I think the bearing surface is rough also. (It's surprising that a bike
costing £500 didn't have sealed bearings!)
I'm going to get replacement sealed type for aroung £25 - the size stated is
1 1/8" - is this the correct size?
Also do I need special tools to remove and replace the old bearings?
any advice/experiences appreciated (or should I take it to a bike shop?)
