Does anyone know if/where you can get replacement bearings for a Cane Creek Hellbender 70 bottom bracket?
I can’t find them listed anywhere online, which seems odd. I know I could buy generic bearings from many online bearing specialists, but it just seems strange that Cane Creek don’t seem to offer any replacements, as they do for their headsets.
Is the BB not designed to have replacement bearings?
Which hellbender BB? The one with the skf bearings?
OK, I'll bite and ask how you've managed to kill the bearings in an everlasting BB.
😀
^ I don’t think the 70 is the lifetime guarantee job
OK my mistake.
Bit of a marketing blunder on the naming though IMO.
Unfortunately the Hellbender 70 comes with regular cartridge beadings not the fancy SKF solid-oil ones, which is why I find it odd they don't seem to sell replacements. ☹
I have purchased replacement bearing for the BSA 30, but not fitted them. Not sure how easy it is to remove the old ones.
Dragging this back up, did any of you manage to replace your hellbender bearings?
