DX bearings, what size & how many?

(1/2) > >>

griff:
Managed to drop a load of the bearings from my dismantled DX pedals in a pile of crap (not actual crap) on the garage floor. Found some, but probably not all of them.
Does anyone know off hand how many there should be in total? Also what size they are as I might need to try and find somewhere that sells them ::)

Many thanks in advance for any info

rodriguez:
Possibly 3/32, I used these on pedals recently but they were Suntour, says Shimano use 3/32 sjs's page below.

Thanks  :daumenhoch:

Anyone know how many per pedal? I seem to recall there were 22 in my other set. I'll admit to not really fancying pulling them apart just to count them, since they were fiddly bastards to set up properly

general rule with bearings is that there should be a small gap between them, so dont fill up the race so that they are tight against each other all the way round, put them in and leave a small gap between the first and last ones if that makes sense

Sweep the floor with a magnet, should find most of them.
If not do what delay says and just fill up one pedal race and count how many you need
