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.
