I'm really struggling to find a list/drawing anywhere showing the frame bearings for the Spesh Camber Evo 2015 (yellow one)
The manual seems to be a generic FSR thing - with no sepcifics?

Can anyone help me?

i got a set of replacements from qbikes on ebay. I'd recommend if you're looking to buy a full set.

thanks - yes I've bought from qbikes before

I'm only looking to buy the main pivot bearings, above the bottom bracket for now - hence why I'm looking for the list so I can determine what size they are

I'm fairly sure they are 6802 2RS / 1524F, but not certain

I found a frame schematic to support missforreals 2015 Camber Expert Evo

[url= https://media.specialized.com/support/collateral/SC0425_36_revB.pdf ]Schematic here[/url]

and i'm fairly sure if you buy a complete Specialized bearing kit it's the same one for all models of Camber 2013-2015.

Maybe that helps (looks like 6801 x 3)

Don't the bearings you want to replace have the size marked on them?

Assumed OP knew that but (and this is my own experience) wants to do job with minimum downtime. ie replace the bearings rather than disassemble to find out what they are, then wait 3 days while replacements are delivered before fitting.

Anyroad - not sure about Q bikes, he only lists 11 bearings for the full camber kit when there should be 13 ! And my experience of his stuff is that it's not good quality bearings.

I've used this guy in the past, his son races DH, he knows his stuff. I have rung him when I didn't know the sizes and he's been first class. Quick on delivery

@steelforreal - thanks - that's exactly what I'm looking for!
Looks like the 2013-2015 Camber take the same bearings and bolt kit

Just curious - where did you source that schematic?

Google 'fu' my friend..... 😉

And I checked - which I think you have - the part numbers on the schematic correspond to those selling the 'official' manufacturers bearing or bolt kits.

I found it when servicing my lasses Camber Evo - at that time it didn't need new bearings but I needed to check the orientation of the covers on the yoke linkage as I had to remove it to service the shock and found it. Finding it again took just as long !

I figure it may be something that's only available to dealers ?

Ha!

Thanks again - yes I have found similar schematics for some of the other Spesh FSR models eg Stumpjumper, but not that one

I reckon I only need to do the 'bottom bracket' bearings - I had an older model Camber and to be honest it was a bit of a 'mare to do all the bearings - especially the ones at the rear dropout a real pain in the ass to remove and even worse to re-assemble with the spacers, so trying to avoid that

So my plan is to do the ones I need to do and when the time comes the off to the LBS 😉

I just tend to do them all at the same time.
Just take your time and don’t be in a rush

It’s the bearing removal that often causes the hassles

Can't be 100% sure but my gmail history has me buying some 6801 [url= https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Enduro-MAX-Compliment-Bearings-for-frame-pivots-All-Sizes-/272055609198?var=570868404215 ]from here[/url]

There are 3 in the BB pivot, 2 on one side, 1 on the other so don't just buy a pair.... 🙂

Rest of mine have been OK in 3000 miles. I replaced the top shock bush with an offset one when it started knocking.

@dlr - thanks for that - yes, the other bearings all seem to be good, so i'm hoping just replacing the 3 x 6801's will do the trick

hi guys, I can confirm that steel4real's schmatic above is indeed the correct one

I emailed Specialized (not really expecting a reply) but I got one and the schematic - which is the same as the one above - it applies to the 2013,14 and 15 Camber and Camber Evo (alloy)

Specialized are good at replying as are most of the big companies, It may just take a day or two to respond.
