My creaky Nicolai Helius CC needs new bushings. Does anyone have a parts list with the dimensions of the required parts by any chance. I used to have a list but I can't find it 🙁
FWIW, I have an IGUS account.
The Washers and Top Hats are off the shelf parts
GTM-1524-015 Thrust washer
GFM-1517-09 closed plain bearing
I've got stock of those if you want some - suspect IGUS minimum quantities will be higher than you want.
The bushings are NOT a standard part - Nicolai used to purchase an MSM-1521-15 and machine them down, then they switched to making their own (which are supposed to last longer).
Simons - how much are the rear bushings in an Ion 27.5 frame? How easy are they to fit?
The main bearings are rediculous well sealed and still fine after nearly 3 years. Just the bushings on the Horst link which require more care
Contact me via email.
If you're somewhere up North take it to Moonglu in Ripon. They just sorted my CC for me. Great service.
