GPI Titan Arm - Post Bearings maintenance?

[Norwin Hatschbach]

Hey to all you GPI Titan Arm Users,

i am wondering how smooth your bearings around the post are running? mine seem to be pretty slow/sticky. as soon as i use a catgriller post being around 0,1mm too thick to spin freely i can feel the bearings really transporting arm movement onto my gimbal.

 

any experience of yours to share?

 

someone has maintenance tips to clean them? wanted to ask you users first before i contact GPI about it.

 

best

norwin

Bump (curious what people are using chemical-wise).

I've never cleaned mine (haven't needed to yet) and while I know they likely aren't, the bearings in the pro arm post section remind me of skate bearings. I would guess a little soak in some carb cleaner, a good blow out and either triflow or some bones speed cream would do the trick. Essentially whatever you use for your gimbal. Once you pop them out, you should be able to remove one side of the bearing cover with a needle or a small point to work the old stuff out and the new stuff in.
