So a few months ago, I took my Spree apart to paint it. I removed the front forks and did not know that the bearings were not self-encased, and the balls were just loose. I think I may have lost a few of them, because while taking it for a top speed run, I noticed that the scooter was particularly shaky. I also noticed that when you only use the front brakes when slowing down, if you squeeze and release the brake lever repeatedly, you can feel the whole handlebar and fork assembly shimmying back and forth in the frame.
So my question here is, does anybody know how many ball bearings are supposed to be in the top and bottom? There is a surplus store near me that sells miscellaneous steel balls meant for bearings, so I figured I'd just grab a few of those and put in the correct amount. If there's anybody that could help me stop being afraid to ride my Spree, it would be greatly appreciated.
