I'm changing the chainstay bearings on a friends T-130 2015 (used to be mine) and I can't remember what everything is.
Are these the weirdo KP5AX and is there any issue tapping them out (like are they blind) and can they be done just removing the chainstays without removing the rest of the linkage?
If anyone knows the full bearing spec for the bike I might do them all if she wants but its really the chainstay ones seem to have worn and a bit of play... so if its something I can do in the car park next group ride I might do that.
I think only the main pivots are KP5AX unless i'm mistaken, the others are different.
car-park... mmmmm not sure i would, they're snug and fiddly tight going in... i've had a lot easier ones to fit than Whytes.

That's what I remembered but the only documentation I can find from Whyte seems to say they are ?
If I had the bike here I'd at least measure the outside diameter as my recollection was they are way smaller than the Pivot bearings... but its not realistic to expect my friend would be able to measure them.

It's from the van not a car boot so hopefully a vice and blowtorch should sort that part.. and I've plenty of stuff to use as a drift. More worried they turn out to be blind bearings TBH.
