elektrokid Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 take the bearing to a bearing factory, and they should be able to size one up for you no probs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 its going to be hard for me to get to a bearing macheinist but i think i might have to could even sell others as well also having some trouble pulling the mashed old one off the axel. i was hoping i could use somthing like the azonic ones on CRC even if they are a rip off as there can not be much diffrence in the size thnaks for the help though.ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Hi Ben,Might be worth chatting to your retailer, there should be some form of warranty if its only a week old.CheersAdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 right iv ordered a new BB from mr tarty above i also ordered (from midland bearings very helpful chaps realy would advse them) a 6804krs bearing well they dent have a 6804krs so i ordered a 60842rs as he bloke on the phone reconed it would be the same and when it came it was the wrong size bit annoying seems that the inside diameter to me was 21mm and the out somthing weird like 31 this is pritty strange for a few reasons why use such sizes when 20 inner and 30 outer are so easy to get hold of instead of a custom bearing wich would cost a packet?? secondly normaly u times the last lettr by 5 to give the inner bore size so why is it 21 and finaly why did the system not show that bearing even though they stock BRG bearings well i thought id say what had happend and to any body else 6804rs bearings are no good ahh well there letting me send them back the firm realy did seem helpful and im thankful to them just a pain echo have a random bearing size? well im not sure if that made a lot of sence to any one but me but if your trying to find bearings id advise midland bearings but the echo bearing size sems to be a pain.ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
