graphite bearings
« on: February 26, 2017, 10:29:50 AM »
I'm finding a few graphite bearing around the bike, like on the bracket holding the caliper to the front axle.  Do they take any lube at all or just watch them for play/movement?  With the front axle out the rockers do wiggle some but have no movement perpendicular to the axle.  I was leary of removing the rocker for fear of discovering some spring tension which would make it difficult to re-install the rockers.  Are they also graphite bearings?  No lube?
