Thanks mate, but not sure I would buy a second hand one. Chances are bearings just as bad.

Also, it is the other bit that has gone on mine, the bit that looks like a tube with a triangular plate on each end. The bearings that go down the tube are the ones that have gone.

would love to offer help mate but havent had to replace mine yet...
watching with interest though as seeing the state of the wheel bearings on mine, i think its time i did the suspension bearings and bushes too.
keep a note of what you end up buying and i'll have the same... or try to source the same from a cheaper supplier!

did the front bearings this morning and the high speed weave is now gone

Yeah mate if people haven't done them, there isn't much they can help with, just hoped more people would have done them and found a good source already.

I'm after a set to refurb & add grease nipples to them before I remove mine.

Right, finally managed to hammer my old bearings out and cleaned up enough to read the number on the side "NTN 7E-HMK 1720"

Typed that into Google and it is this bearing
http://www.noc.ua/en/online-catalog-bea ... 20&key=595

Corresponding bearing from bike bearings web site is this:
http://shop.marksman-ind.com/ta1720z--1 ... 2108-p.asp

This is the cheapest bearing I have found and I have now ordered 2 of these

Im hoping that will therefore be the right one, unless im missing something?

If you plan to do this, these may also come in useful:
Dust seal (part number 21 on the diagram at the top) - David Silvers Part No 91262kv3831
Sleeve (part number 6 on the diagram at the top) - David Silvers Part No 52463mee000

Those part numbers are searchable on the David Silvers site and bring up the correct parts. For anyone that is interested, here is the part number on their site for that bearing (part number 20 on the diagram):
91072kt7003

Hopefully that is of use to someone who may be in the same situation as me...

And extra to that, these are David Silver part numbers for the other items on the diagram:

Part number 18 - 91072mj0003
Part number 5 - 52463malg00
Part number 8 - 52473mbb000
Part number 19 - 91071kv3005

nice one bud... i'll look further into those parts and see if i can find the dimensions, then i can get them from bsl -65%!

the seals will be a generic part and i suspect the bearings will be too.

cheers for the info.

If you look at the first link mate, it has the dimensions on there, they are 24mm outer, 17mm inner and 20mm long.

Dont know about the other bearings though, I will have to get them out and see if I can find a serial number on them.

Good work ziggy, when you sort out all the part numbers we could put a sticky up in the knowledge base with these bearings, the wheel bearing sizes and the taper head bearings etc. make it easier for those who follow

Just a quick update to say - I ordered the bearings from Bike Bearings (Marksman Industrial) as per that link above.

I ordered them yesterday, didnt pay for courier service, just selected standard Royal Mail, and they arrived today. They are exactly the same as the old bearings I removed. Top quality service
