    Do any of you happen to know what the size of the main pivot bearing is?

    Thanks.

    I have some spares from my build last summer- will check for you when I get home this weekend.

    They are a pain to swap but I love that bike!

    Mine is retired & resides in the attic..
    I’m not sure about the bearing size but you could buy the bearings & get the sizes that way.
    Bearings here http://mbbearings.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=281 ,also you can get them on Ebay.
    Here’s the manual for the later version

    I’ll try and have a look tonight. I got replacement bearings from MB as above.

    I used a m8 bolt, some big washers, a ring spanner and a socket to press the bearing out and press it back in.

    Tightened every thing up nicely on my carbon NRS.

    MartinB beat me to it- 2003 model is 6000 2RS.

    Would be interested to know the forks you guys are running – the original manitou forks are cack but never got round to replacing them after the build. Anyone running more than 100mm?

    I was running 100mm Rebas on my 2005 model,originals were Marzochi 100mm.
    I had some fun on my NRS but it was ‘twitchy’.My Anthem,also running at 100mm is much more stable.

    I’m running 80mm Marzocchi Marathon,and they’re ample for my riding.

    Thanks for the info guy’s.
