I'm currently stripping and servicing an old Marin Rift Zone frame that we bought for my daughter.

The lower pivot bearings are shot and it appears they are like gold dust.

Does anybody know of a replacement or where to get them please?

Part number KP6AX and made by IJK.

Ta muchly, :)

    Take one to a bearing shop, they should be able to get them. It's an odd size.

    Cheers. I found them online and got the size but as said they are odd imperial things.

    £9.50 each is the best I can do so I set about renovating the old ones before I pay a hideous amount of money for two ball bearings.

    A few hours, some WD40, GT85, white spirit, unleaded, tweezers, brush, cordless drill and grease they are surprisingly ok now :lol:

    Marin have a lifetime guarantee on the bearings. Original owner only, but dealers often don't ask for proof. Worth a shot.
