You see those chrome cups that the bearings sit in? Before I send the frame to be powder-coated do I need to remove them or can they just mask them over?
If I do need to remove them, are they screwed in or do they push out. I've not tried hard but they seem pretty well stuck (like just about everything else on the frame).
I can only assume they must be removable because they must wear out. those one look pretty smooth at the moment so I'm not too fussed about getting them out if I don't have to.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Nick
