I was re-greasing my Hope headset today, my cat jumped up and knocked the ball bearings all over my kitchen floor. I managed to find all but one. Will one missing ball bearing make a difference? I'm a tight ass so don't want to pay £15 for a new bearing. Anyone know where I can get an individual ball bearing?

Any open bearing needs a space usually equal to the size of a ball to work to its potential. Check the hope website, to make sure your cat has lost one you might be surprised. . You can purchase spare ball bearings from any bearing supplier - check the net. Take one so they can measure it up.

You could count the amount of balls on the bottom race?

If this reply was any help, buy yourself a big dog instead... they don't jump as high mate!

good luck.

I've already got a big dog, that's what made the cat jump!

I've measured the bearings and I make them 2mm diameter. Does anyone know the actual size?
