Hi guys,
I'd be really grateful of any help you can give me, I have from this forum before learnt to change the brake pads (yay it worked and they are still fine!!!), so hope some of you with a lot more knowledge than me can help, I think my bearings on my front wheel have gone...
I ride a lexmoto zoom 2 (seriously worst bike ever!), I am incredibly poor and so absolutely dread taking it to a garage, there is so much wrong with it and I try (proudly, though pretty nervously) to do as much as I can myself, I have a joblist that reads like this... 1. repair speedo, 2. repair seat 3. Repair stand, 4. replace exhaust.....so was bracing myself to do the exhaust next when on sunday I turn a corner and hear a quit loud like metalic knock...
It feels a bit rough to ride like when its got a flat but it doesnt, there are knocks and all sorts now and it seems to be getting worse, the problem is like I said I am extremely broke, and it is my only mode of transport..
I did a few google searches on what it most likely is and it sounded like the bearings, from what I describe does that sound right? now to my main question....is this a job I can do myself, I watched a vid on youtube, and it didnt look too difficult (I have no training at all, and am only really condfident at stuff thats pretty logical and straightforward, I wouldnt mess with electrical things I don't understand, I really don't want to kill myself by doing a dangerous job, but if I could do this myself it would save my life (and also mean I can eat more than 9p noodles for the rest of the month!!!)
Thanks for any help guys, I really do appreciate it!!
