Does anyone know what bearings I need for the front wheel of a Kona Unit from 2013? The wheels are WTB Speed Disc i23 but I don't know what the hubs are.

Long story short, I haven't got opportunity to take the wheel apart to see what bearings I need, but I want to get the bearings ordered ASAP so I have a fighting chance of riding this weekend.

Thanks

I've heard that they might be de-badged Formulas. What bearings do yours take kimbers?

Gah. Mine is at my folks - sorry, canna help. 🙁

Edit: are they cup and cone or cartridge? Cup and cone are (or were, when I was a mech 20 years ago) usually 3/16 in the front.

It might come to that, but this is one job that would be quicker - and cheaper - to do myself....if only I knew what size bearings I needed 😆
