The bearings are pressed in so there would be no play between the bearing and frame. These pictures are useless to really understand how the self extracting mechanism works. They get pulled out of their press fit by using the 5mm allen key by their ID and you press new ones back in by their OD using the big 22mm cap.

This message is for Slyp. You're absolutely right. The frame is just there to showcase the novel pivot and headtube design.

This message is for rydindirty. It's 8 dollars for all 8 linkage bearings, not just one. You can get 8 6000-2rs bearings for 1 dollar each. Usually its around 50 dollars for linkage bearings plus 100 dollars of labour to get them installed because a shop needs to remove the rear wheel, cranks and they take the whole linkage apart. They need to use a bearing puller and bearing press too. With this frame, you don't have to take anything apart, just use a 5mm allen key and two sockets to replace each linkage bearing individually for a dollar a piece.

I don't like any of these names. I want to call it the Morpheus Slacker, named after the type of kid who's usually good at dirtjumping.
