Actually only the steel balls, not complete bearings.

 

 

Your local "Bearing distributor"

 

Well worth speaking to them.  There are certainly different quality products available.

Hey Dexter 

 

if you still have it, I would love to take it off your hands.

Some of the smaller bikeshops have stock of them BUT BMG will have, cheap as chips.

On my Garmin Edge 130 the charging plug on the unit broke, so unit does not charge. Looking for any old broken Edge that is not in use anymore so that we can do a charging jack transplant.

Willing to pay for it.

this has been my fear since I got mine a number of years back. Seems like such a flimsy design.

Does anyone have a slimmer conical headset spacer laying around? The current one is around 15mm and I'm looking for something 5mm or less.
I've searched high and low for something slimmer without any luck. I'm on the verge of replacing the entire headset or cutting down this one in half (which I'm very reluctant to do).
If anyone knows where I can source a spacer that would also be great!

Hi All,

A little bit off the topic but any idea where one can get very small steel ball bearings to service/fix flat MTB pedals? 

I have tried to do this before.

The balls that came out of the pedals were an imperial size. The only ones I could get in Cape Town were metric, close but not quite right. I ended up ordering some balls from e-bay - back in the days when the post off still delivered stuff.

In the end the pedals were a bit too far gone and the exercise was not effective.
