I’m looking to replace the bearings on the swing arm.
The bearings are 6902 RS.
Where do you lot get your replacements from? For reference buying direct from Orange costs £25.
Thanks
Orange £25 plus postage..the bearings don't appear to be anything special?
£11.38 including postage - enduro bearings
You can also get hope bearings listed as 61902 RS for around 4.50 each.
Just reuse the bolts and plastic caps.
I found enduro bearings a bit rubbish. The whole cageless thing is a bit of a gimmick imo, and the seals were poor so the bearings didn’t last long
Hope bearings are usually top quality ones made by INA and last for ages.
Whatever you go for, the most important thing is to gently prise the seals off (pad spring works well) and pack the bearings with grease. You’ll be surprised how little grease there is as standard
A piece of motorbike innertube zip-tied to the downtube to make a mudflap that prevents them being sprayed by the front wheel will also increase their lifetime by a good margin.
