I am after some suspension pivot bearings for my Nukeproof Mega 2016,been to a local bearing supplier and they don't stock them, where sell decent bike specific bearings.
what size are they? I use a local bear shop or online, using proper ebay stores (not some random ebayer) to get branded bearing (FAG, INA, etc)
For pivots, I tend to prefer enduro max bearings. More biggers balls as there's no cage. Designed for low speed high load applications like suspension pivots.
From what I gather the bearings seem all a fairly ordinary size
Found them on Chain Reaction, 2016- they have changed the bearings, had a look at enduro max and they dont do them. The code for them is F6802VH7.
Surely that's just a 6802 bearing? Enduro will be happy to supply those. The old bearing will likely have a numerical code written on the side of them.
6902-2RS Bearing is what [url= http://nukeproof.com/wp-content/themes/nukeproof/pdf/2016-Technical-Document.pdf ]this 2016 manual[/url] says on page 19 though going by your code suggest 6802's, where did you get that from?
Email Nukeproof to confirm?
The bearing is numbered F6802VH7. It is nothing like a normal 6802, it has a flange and the inner ring is wider than the outer.
I can not find these anywhere apart from CRC!
Have you tried BETD? Got my last bike bearings there and they were really helpful / the bearings were much better quality than what came out of my bike (Boardman Pro FS) as standard.
They were nice standard bearing sizes though.
Spoken to a few suppliers and manufacturers of bearings, these are a special batch made for Nukeproof in China and are not available anywhere else.
So we're stuck with these crap bearings and changing them every 6 months.
