Now then guys, I ordered bearings from the bay, they are the wrong size.
Pretty hacked off but buy cheap, pay double, or more....
Where did you lot get them from? And did they come with the dust seals?
Cheers Martin.

beleive you want 6203 2RS, it's the same for both wheels, apart from the sprocket carrier. the 2RS will give you the Rubber Seals you want.

Try these

Thank you very much.
It's a minefield the ebay, too many halfwits in the world.
This kr is turning into perhaps too much of a restoration. Haha!
Cheers!

SKF brand is a good make :wink:

Put bearings in the freezer still wrapped for a few hours before you fit them :P

And heat the housing up with a hair drier, then they just drop in place :)
