    i got my rose joint/bearing from here> http://cgi.ebay.co.u...em=150694080957 if he cant help ,remove it and measure it first,then match the size on a bearing supplier,to avoid paying "motorbike"prices which can be 400%+more.outrageous! another way is matching the number on the actual bearing and then use the above route.good luck.

  5. should be fine now!!was the bike cheap to start with?
  6. me,and me youngest son ben (17) and grand daughter(3) went to a rrnd club trial last weekend,only a short video but quite nice when the g/daughter shows her concern at a fallen rider.
