You need to take the hub covers off and see if you can read the bearing size off the seals. For the rear you'll probably need to drift all the free hub bearings out to workout what sizes that are. BETD is good for bearings.

CheesybeanZ - how long did your bearings last? I've just ordered some bearings from KaTec on ebay as they are meant to be slightly better sealed/greased as I've had nowt but problems.

Been through 3 sets in 8 months on the rear. Front have been fine so far. Just covered mine completely in grease too so fingers crossed. The RS bearing seals make a difference against the RU seals
