powerz Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I brought this from Quackers and his feedback looked good, but i wanted to see what peeps thought before i contact him as i know nothing about these hubs, but im sure that bearings shouldnt be in quarters . and i cant see any parts on tarty that look like what i need. unless whats pictured is the remains of a sealed cartridge bearing?

Greetings Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) That's very strange, never knew Profile used other bearings than sealed cartridge ones? Edited August 29, 2007 by Inur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) Ring SMB Bearing and ask for 4 of 6802-2RS. - 01993-842555Will be around £4 for all 4. Instead of £4 each that Pofile sell them for. Edited August 29, 2007 by Dan6061 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_ Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 hmm it seemed in working order when i rode on it :/ It did feel a little rough not noticably really, I always just assumed it was because its oldish.. and belonged to wheeler before hand. And i dont think quackers ever took it apart to that extent, so doubt he would have realised! maybe give him a PM or somthing hes on holiday at the moment hes bac friday though incase you think hes ignoring you.
