==How to tell if your bearings need looking at== | |||
It takes a huge problem to feel anything while riding, so to check your bearings you need to get the front wheel [[Supporting Your Bike While Servicing|in the air]]. Turn the bars from side to side with the wheel off the ground and feel for any slight notches. There should be no hesitation when turning the bars from side to side. If there's even the slightest notch or hesitation, they need greasing (at least). | It takes a huge problem to feel anything while riding, so to check your bearings you need to get the front wheel [[Supporting Your Bike While Servicing|in the air]].
