They are getting me a pair from the US via Australia, going to take a couple of weeks so I may get a spacer knocked up as cover, at least then I can use a common bearing.

Its not exactly common if you have to buy a metric bearing from the US, should last 10 years though

The odd size one's I can use with no fancy spacer but if I knock up a spacer i can use standard 6202. I was just trying to do it easy with the weird ones.

yeah fuck I hate Saeco now, been buying bearings from them for 20years at least & in the last couple of years the prices have gone sonic. Just so they can give trade 45% off & big customers 65% off or some such nonsense, _ all they did was put the price up, just I'm the dumb cunt who gets charged $18 for what was an $8 bearing 6 years ago.

I'm still stinging from the $52 I was charged for two common size wheel bearings on the way to Taumaranui.

your joking..... I'm in the wrong industry (though it never stops raining).

How can they really justify that kind of price..
(but you paid it so I guess its justifiable)..

what sizes are common?
maybe there are opportunity for bulk purchase across the bucketing group??

I was on the way out of town heading up to Taumaranui, so kind of needed them then and there.

Na, just go to another shop or get a trade account set up, it's only the price to the public that is ridiculous.

You could just make (or get made) wheel spacers with a sleeve on them. OD 15mm and ID 12mm.
So that they just sit in the bearings and through into the spacer between the bearings. (so that everything torques up nicely)

Visual representation below. Couldn't be arsed uploading a pic. Right side into bearing. Left against fork.

This is exactly how a KTM50sx rear wheel is done. So it is not as odd as it sounds.It is therefore a genuine factory solution done by an "industry man" no less.
Of course you can also find a bearing with the correct id and insert as sleeve in the wheel to suit as well.

if you can find a bearing the suit id and od why is the width such a problem as the spacers or sprocket cover can be modified surely?

Also why not go to a 15mm bearing they are stronger and the axle would be cheaper that new bearings assuming the ones you have now are ok?

Bearing prices have gone up competition is down. There are still suppliers at reasonable prices not always the wholesalers either, but they are a pretty exacting piece of kit really, bearings that is.
There is a formula for the bearing sizes. I do have it somewhere the bearing number do mean something after all i won't bore you all with the details but. sometime oe can be cheaper hard to believe but true.

this site has a usefulhttp://www.bearingshopuk.co.uk/popul...m-bore-8-c.asp search facility.

found this also i have never heard of the description though so watch out.it may not be up to much

According to the cattledog it's the dimensions you're looking for.

For the record: 2rs - two rubber seals. C3 is the radial clearance, (C3 being suitable for higher revs, lower load end of the scale).
