Hi all I've got a bit of sideways play in my rear fulcrum racing 7 hub, just replaced the freehub so It must be the bearings, been looking on the net for replacements but can't find them? Anyone else changed the bearings? What did you use?

  • Knock them out and measure them... most likely the yard 8 x 12 x 28 mm... although not 100% sure... cheap as chips at Simplybearings, get the rubber sealed SKF or INA/FAG

    Should actually be written on the seal irrc. I'd go an have a root around to find one but it would be quicker for the OP to just google it!

    As Ugo suggested - go for the FAG or SKF rubber sealed variety. The SKF are £3.46 each ex VAT. Listed towards the bottom of the link you gave

    Thanks for your help everyone! Hope they will turn up later this week, and I'll be able to swap them over one evening.
