Very good video. I have a 08 Sprint 1050. Probably do this when changing rear brakes. How often does this need to be removed and cleaned out. I remember something saying every 4 yes??
Just watched this, great video...my 2011 Sprint GT 1050'a eccentric hub seems to have a maximum and a minimum position, like I cannot tighten it enough, chain is still slack and the hub appears 'at its max'...is this normal ? looking at how its made it should turn freely one direction or the other without stopping one way or the other right ?
@@notamotorbikemechanic because they are machined, smooth surfaces with tight tolerances. If you use a wire brush on the axle where it bears on the needles, you will inevitably accelerate wear in the bearing by creating imperfections in the surface. I suspect it is better to accept the minor imperfections in the cleaned surface than abrade with a wire brush - just my thoughts
We are all entitled to our opinion, personally I can’t see it causing any harm. It’s a copper brush, so very soft. But as I point out on all my videos, I’m no expert. Thanks for supporting the channel 👍🏻
Thank you very much this Video ist a big Help for my 😊.

I'm not sure if there is a schedule for it, yeah every few years sounds right👍

Maybe your chain is over stretched 🤔
I'd remove that Allen bolt on the caliper slider whilst you were there and copper slip it too👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎
It’s a 1 time use part.
ouch!! - definitely not a good idea to use a wire brush on bearing surfaces - both the eccentric hub and axle??
why?

@@notamotorbikemechanic I do watch with interest!
as long as the copper brush only removes dirt and not Alloy I don't see a problem.
