Been checking my bearing today in my Swoop 170 - can’t get the bolts out for the bearings nearest the rear axle - anyone got any suggestions?

I can unscrew the bolt, but can’t slide it out of the bearing. It’s basically stuck.

man o man i love this bike, its fast and smooth
cornering takes a bit of willpower
mt5 brakes suck, feels akward
the flip chip is awesome, don't drive xc on park setting......ground contact will be made
the baron tires are overkill on xc tours, they dig in the sand
still gotta swap m for something else but they look soooooo great....
the bar is a bit wide maybe chop m a bit, kissed a lot of trees with m
1 x 12 was new for me. still have bikes with 3 rings, takes 5 minutes to get used to it and love it also great for the wife no more hussel with explaining shifting
but what a bike
cheers

Hallo

I 'm waiting for the 2018 swoop 170 10.0 to be delivered when they are in stock
my question is how are the bearings from the rear end holding up ?
Are there any issues with them cause they are a bit small...
And are there other issues with these bikes after riding them for a year or more
It takes Radon a long time to deliver the 2018 swoop models, worth the waiting ??
Cheers

Anyone on thus thread using a Vorsprung Luftkappe? I'm quite tempted to fit one to my Lyriks

They are good! tup
Getting your weight forward might help the cornering, it is quite a long front triangle and slack, so it takes a bit of riding position adjustment.
MT5 is SO much better with the shorter 1 finger lever fitted...super powerful and well modulated, and much less awkward than the 2 finger lever, which is always in the wrong place.
The Baron is definitely not an xc tyre, but grippy as hell on the rough downhill stuff and roots. It will soon be winter, and you'll be glad of their grip!! Wink Try keeping one on the front for grip, and swapping out the rear...

Luftkappe is irrelevant since Debonair spring became available.

No, it is relevant, I'm not interested in the Debonair, I want to know if anyone is using a Luftkappe

Me too if not racing I can’t see the point and then even racing it’s still debatable, especially Enduro racing which is basically DH from the early 2000’s before it became motorways and Moro X jumps. End of the day for me I mostly have to climb the mountains with my bike and 29er is a not inconsiderable amount of extra weight to lug about.
