Can I replace my headset bearings?
I can feel a few rough spots when I turn my handlebars on my Specialized Diverge, and my LBS says I need to replace the headset bearings. I'd be happy for them to do it, but I first asked them about it in July. They said they didn't have the bearings but they were on order and they'd let me know when they came in. I've been back a few times since then, and they tell me the bearings are still on back-order. It's November! If I can find the bearings (do some internet shopping), is this something I can do myself? I'm not that mechanically inclined and don't know much about bike repair. I'd be happy to have the LBS do it, but at this point I'd just like to replace the bearings and smooth out my steering. Is this something a novice can do?
