Anyone know if Serotta (latest version of the company) still offers the replacement bearing kits for the ST stays??
Also, do they sell the tool kit they designed for removal/replacement of these bearings??

Just had this done in the spring. You can call Serotta directly or work through your bike shop and have them order. You'll need to work with a LBS shop anyway that either does or did carry Serotta-- the shop should have that special tool. It's a pretty impressive tool that supposedly cost significant $$.

Also don't be shocked about the cost of these 2 bolts-- I paid $160 directly from Serotta or through my LBS. I think these ended up costing more than the price of gold on a per weight basis.

Most important, had the bolts replaced and the creak was gone. I guess in the whole scheme of things that's not a lot of money.
