[#3945881]

Just gone to get my bike ready for tomorrow morning & the front wheel bearing on one side is shot - the wheel won't spin!

It's a 20x32x7mm bearing - where's the best place to get a set from? Would a car parts place have them?? Need to get hold quick tomorrow morning if poss....

😀

If it's a common enough hub, I would have thought probably a bike shop on a sunday?

WD40 will get it running for one ride.

soaking in WD as we speak but seems to be locked solid - I'll give it another soaking before bed 😀

Found loads of cheap ones on ebay - £13 for ten! Anyone had any joy/bad experiences with these?

Yeah, coz Ebay will deliver by the morning 🙄

any decent bike shop should have 20mm hub bearings and fit them while you wait (5min job tops), it'll prob cost you more than £13 tho
