Hi STW,
I've got a cheapy front wheel on my commuter and the bearings are making a bit of a growl, despite a re-grease and tighten up, its a M475 hub, but i'm unsure as to where and what bearings i'd get for it? would rather repair the front wheel despite having a hope xc/mavic something-or-other wheel in the shed...
muchos thanks,
JT
Weldtite do little packs of bearings that are sold in most bike shops.
Otherwise simplybearings.co.uk - look under 'steel balls' or something like that.
IIRC the front wheel bearings are 3/16 - shop should be able to advise or check on the technical documents part of the shimano website.
They are indeed 3/16, 10 on each side.
Excellent, thanks chaps.
True to form, living life on the edge, I threw caution to the wind and ordered a pack of 50.
Whatever next? extreme ironing?
thanks 😉
