Title: What size bearings for hubs?
Post by: funkwit on September 07, 2008, 08:20 PM

I've stripped down a Suzue rear hub and there seemed to be less ball bearings than there should so I need to buy some more. Does anyone know what size I should get? My guess is 1/8", is that right?

Any help would be HUGELY appreciated.

Cheers, Marc

Do you have the old bearing for a refernce,as some of them have the size stamped/printed on them.Pretty sure I got some replacements from Custom Riders in the past.Cyclesport may also be worth a try.

Thanks bro - I meant the actual ball bearings themselves rather than the sealed bearings. I've got a sneaky feeling that they're the 1/4" sized ones (I did a bit of checking on Ginny's site and there's a little bearings table on there).

Cheers fella
