[Closed] RRP bearing adaptors for new style transition frames

The Support section shows you exploded diagrams and the bearing numbers. You can then work out the RRP kit number.

You'll struggle to get the main pivot bearing out using a RRP kit I suspect.  You'll need a Blind bearing puller.  The rest should be fine with the RRP kit.

Have a look on here for the bearings used on your frame https://www.transitionbikes.com/Support_Archive_Model.cfm

From memory, it's basically the same lot as the older frames, so 6900, 6902, 6903, 6802, 3802, so kits 5, 7, 9, 14 i think.

Way cheaper to find someone local with them though, if you're around bristol i have most of them, if not all of them.

For pulling i use a sliding hammer, way easier for small bearings like this, get the off ebay or amazon for 20 quid or less.

ah yeah awesome i forgot about the exploded view thing - transition do really help out with such like!

cool - yep sounds like i need those kits youve mentioned above ill have a dig into it, wont be a cheap job for shop to do so may as well invest myself sure theyll get used over the years

ive got one of those blind puller kits for the main bearings if they are the only ones different

so basically can 'pull' most of the bearings out the frame using a blind puller? would still need the kits though to install the new ones

ps thanks for the offer but sadly too far away

I already had a blind bearing puller set but then bought a kit from this guy for putting them back in. Comes with the correct size drifts for each frame.

Add in the extra drift sizes for your hub bearings etc and your sorted for any future bearing pressing on your bike..

Edit.... They have definitely gone up in price though. I didn't pay that!

BSC tools are fantastic

Yeah, i use the slide hammer to remove all the bearings, or where it's a little more intricate, you can use the RRP kit to pull them out, just be wary on transition's, some use double row bearings with a lip in-between on some frames, so they need to be removed either side, seen a couple of people remove that lip in bearing removal!

Honestly though, Transition are pretty easy to strip down and replace bearings, mine took less than an hour to do last time, my giant ebike, christ whoever came up with the design for adding shims everywhere to make up for the lack of engineering needs a good bloody talking too, honestly, makes me love the tranny more!
