Possibly KP5AX.
I have a E-5 Service manual I downloaded from somewhere, so I'm sure it's somewhere on the web.

Edit: Just google "KP5AX"

aren't they covered by a lifetime replacement warranty? i.e. contact whyte and they'll replace them free of charge?

yeah they run KP5ax bearings, expensive to buy but they should last a while.

Pretty easy.. take to shop, they fit them, take home and ride. Lifetime warranty AFAIK.

Lifetime warranty for original owner (same as Marin). Of course if the shop dont ask, they won't know 😀

If that doesn't work i think you are looking at a bearing set for £60-90. Is there not a bearing press required for some of them aswell?

Mine came out with little or force when I did my older Marin. Take em out and pop down to your local Whyte/Marin dealer and they 'should' just swap em over with the spares they carry. All they do it send them back to ATB and get more sent out...
