Think my bearings need doing as I have an annoying creak coming from somewhere.

Check the pivot bearings around the seat tube and rear shock bolt.

Mine was clicking and came from this area, regrease or bearing change should sort it.

I gently tapped them out with a wide screwdriver and then use a same size socket to tap the new bearings in.

A little grease in the bearing mounts will help to get them back out on future changes

I bought these bearings on eBay 190544872044
