March 20, 201313 yr Hi, has anybody ever sourced, after market spherical bearings for the rear shock? dimensions,, ID 12mm - OD 22mm / IDW 12mm - ODW 10.2mm i dont mind supporting the main dealers, but at £30+ for a bearing, its just a bit much,, thanks in advance, clay
March 20, 201313 yr I feel your pain having just bought 2 for my bike along with a full set for the dog bones. expensive!
March 20, 201313 yr replaced my sons bottom shock bearing with a nki1020 needle roller from simply bearings(£8.50) over a year ago and still as good as new only thing you have to do is pack the sleeve which comes with the bearing with a washer either side .certainly wont be buying a cylindrical bearing at £30+ again
March 21, 201313 yr Author I think THK SB12 should fit but I don´t know if they are cheaper. /Carl Thanks carl, but i think they are a 7mm ODW, and the originals are more towards 10.2mm could these bearings be a one off pattern part,,, ??
March 21, 201313 yr Hi I have searched the internet for these and the only thing available I can find is a bearing reference number GE12E (they are only £3.75+VAT), they are the right OD and ID but the wrong width, they are 7Wide OD and 10Wide ID. They might be worth a try.
March 21, 201313 yr pilot bearings for some cars or trucks..are the same type, you just have to get the dems.
