Update new bearing sourced and fully installed HURRAY !! my latest youtube video is up HERE
I’m giving Graham @ Rulla bearings eBaY a big up only ordered it around 4.30pm Friday and arrived in the post today all for £9.49 AWESOME here for info he has the full selection top work
Got me out Sunday with the Wheelers 🙂 super smooth again
Finding it difficult to locate the correct bearing ?? don’t worry I was in the same boat after failing to write it down when NEW !!!
I’m giving VELOBUILD a 2nd chance and emailed them for assistance (see what happens, after all bikes not a year old so ideally I’d like some backup for my purchase rather than being banned for plainly speaking openly about the bike build issues)
Update: Chris (always seems helpful replied BONUS)
Initially I got a reply as I fancied an new frame and enquired about the R-055 super light, but nothing after that, I got its 49mm (which it isn’t) I’ll send a free one with the new frame HA nice offer but I need it yesterday !!!!
Late 2013 model R-041 (velobuild post HERE USERNAME BANNED ??)
*** Upper bearing *** – MH-P08 (ID 30.15 x OD41.8 x W6.5 x 45/45 Degree’s) (1-1/8 – MH-P08 on some sites) there around £4.20 + £1.50 post a pop and sourced pretty easy on eBaY !!
*** Lower bearing *** – MH-P16 (ID 40 x OD 52 x 7 x 45/45 degree’s eBay UK sell these @ £7.90ea + post
decent price and availability, as always I hope its helped just a little even if its write it down when brand new save the hassle like me running & searching for the right part number and also save buying it twice 🙂
I’ll note I have no issue with VELOBUILD and only offered advice on my downfalls along the way, the clamp with screws too long and the hanger made from cheese, I’m moving on a year on.
I would buy another frame from them but I’d like the opportunity to talk about it on the FORUM
Graham also sells BB30 bearings on eBay as well very good value
