  • Happy Birthday to the Bearing Baron

    Happy Birthday, James!!

    I would just like to take this opportunity to mention how grateful many of your fellow XSives are to you for providing us with the elusive left side rear wheel bearing!

    I'm sure there are many who wouldn't have their bikes on the road if not for that bearing.

    Have a great day, James!

      To fix the problem one should not make more assumptions than the minimum needed.
