Instead of going to a bike shop you can always go to a industrial bearing shop. Raeside Industrial Bearings & Drives in Coquitlam will match them up for you.

For most 20mm hubs, they have double sealed units for $17 a piece, you would need 2.

Post up your local shops for reference.

Is it like a store front that you can just walk into this raeside place? I'm also assuming that the richmond one would be the same as the coquitlam one, right?

Holy old thread batman! I think this one is from the time right after Sean.D nuekd the gear forum and there were like three, one was helpful tips and suggestions. I guess that's why I made such a general thread.

bc bearing, commercial bearing.. any bearing place.. jsut giv them the number off the bearing, or bring in one of the loose bearings.. what ever, if they cant order them. They can machine you a handful for hella cheap and you can pick them up the next day :D

Did you read my post? There was like a helpful tips section when we had 3 gear boards, I just reposted what you always post because that was the idea of the short lived forum.

But not nearly as arrogant as you try to be. If you want to talk about me, pm me, and save the other people this kind of bullshit. :)
