DunMan Posted July 28, 2009 Share Anyboday know where I can find a replacement bearing kit for my Specialized Epic.I was quoted a R1100 from the LBS just for the kit, fitting not included. This is a bit on the expencive side and thought if I could source the spares needed I can give replacing it myself a bash. Any advice and info would be appreciated.

AndreZA Posted July 28, 2009 Share You've got a R30 000 bike and you complain about the upkeep? It's like moaning that your AMG63 uses too much petrol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_mil Posted July 28, 2009 Share I'm in the process of doing my Commencal Meta. It too 6 x 608 - 2RS (R90), 4 x 6805 (R120) and I needed to replace a pivot axel (R0 - Thanks Graham/JL), replace Fox Bushing (R80 - RIP OFF) and I still need to get the alu reducers, apprently for R150'ish. So, parts R440.00 (including cost of R80.00 bush). Also keep in mind that 've used the cheapest bearings I could find. I also needed a couple of tools to help coax the bearings out and back in and some time, to trawl the net on how too get it done (Commencal Owners Club site was great!) and petrol money to collect all the parts.

rad006 Posted July 28, 2009 Share I might be wrong but you screwed as SPEZ use special bearings that you cant get anywhere else... I paid R500 and that was cost for my Anthem bearings...Now I have a SC Superlight and thank goodness only 2 bearings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA is still about 8 weeks though Keep your eyes peeled www.rushsports.co.za Its coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunMan Posted July 28, 2009 Share Mampara - Once again if you have nothing consrtuctive to say, go play someware else.

straatvark Posted July 28, 2009 Share Dunman I contacted Spez in UK for the correct bearing numbers last month when the ref numbers & dimensions of the original supplied bearings did not match bearing catalog ref numbers & dimensions. I did not need the full kit, just two specific bearings. (the reason is a different story ) I have the email address of the technical person that responded on my request with the correct bearing reference numbers, just PM me if you are interested. I was a bit "shocked" what the bearings cost me at the end of the day. I assume it is because I payed in Euros and don't know the right places to shop here (yet) Hopefully Bearing man can sort you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Earp Posted July 28, 2009 Share Dunman The bearing kits are very expensive, this I can confirm. Which bearings do you need and how do you plan on removing and installing them ? Maybe I can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
