Tonight will tell......

just waiting for my son to get home from work (as he's commandeered the XT for now), and I'll rip it apart.

I did have my suspicions about that plastic adjuster......

I'll let you know what transpires, I'll probably swap the bearings out for new ones anyway as they are already ordered and in the post, the originals are probably a bit tired by now.

BTW big difference in bearring costs between �28 quid a pop from AJ Sutton (who took forever to deliver cush drive rubbers recently) and �5.30 a piece from EBR Bearing supplies, thanks for the sizes and linky.
