Need to change bearings on these wheels (stock on a Felt AR5). There's no numbers on the bearings (at least visible before taking them out) so I'm in the dark. Felt are being shyte about answering emails. Has anyone done this before who can tell me what bearings I need.

Thanks

    Knock them out and measure them. You need internal and external diameters, and the width. Plot these three on the simplybearings site and see what you can get

    Cheers Ugo, it might come to that but the owner is riding it all the time, so I was hoping someone might know...

    You can measure the size of the axle... it will be 12 or 15 mm. Then you can guess from the size of the casing the outer diameter... it will be 28 or 24 mm

    From those two you can guesstimate they will be one of these three sizes, which are by far the most common

    28 x 15 x 7

    28 x 12 x 8

    24 x 12 x 6

    You need to open the hub anyway, as you don't know which bearing needs replacement. It might be only one
