Its a 20mm Superstar hub but can the cartridge bearings be changed, they're ****ed.

If so how and where and with what?

I'd imagine the process is very similar to all cartridge bearing front hubs.

Look at 'em. Read the number. Buy some new ones with the same number. Knock out the old ones. Press in the new ones.

In fact, I'd be surprised if it was different.

Couldn't see any standard bearing sets on their website. But if you email and ask they should be able to tell you which ones you need.

You will of course need a rock to fit the new bearings.

Use a blow torch to GENTLY heat the hub a bit Vic, that will make them easier to remove.

Then put your new ones in the freezer for a day or so and heat the hub again. They should drop striaght in.

LOL @ 'You will of course need a rock to fit the new bearings.'

Does that have to be a 6805 shaped rock or will any rock do?
