Title: Bearing size ?
Post by: Rusty 73 on March 30, 2015, 08:28 PM

Giving my Skyway Utility Mags a referb and noticed the sealed bearings are knackered. Didn't want to buy complete hub kits, just bearings. On Ebay sites they list loads of sizes, does anyone know which I need ?  Don't know if there the same size as Tuffs ?

There should be a number on the bearing seal, just punch that into ebay.
But remember the old saying
"Cheapest is the dearest in the long run"

cheers Gary, do you suggest getting a complete hub set which includes bits I don't really need. Or go for a bearing only but not the cheapest ?

By what you describe you only need bearings
