Hi,
I have my Helius CC for already 2,5 years now, but I was wandering does the pivots need special maintenance? Every 6 months or so I removed all caps and regrease it with thick grease and mount everything again. But do we need to replace bearings and/or axes regularly? I experimented with removing and replacing the axle of 1 horst link with success, and noticed some rust in the bearings (probably of falling in a river last year
)
In the same line with the above, when remounting everything you can adjust the pressure of the caps on the different pivots, but how strong/loose does this have to be? Just enough to remove side movement?
I hope I make me understood because I don't understand much german, so the technical information I have is rather difficult for me to understand.
grtz,
P.eter
