Giant Anthem 2 2018 pivot bearings challenge

martinlee247IfflDtwm

Hi chaps, once again looking for some assistance from the forum if possible.

I want to locate product codes for the pivot bearings for my 2018 Anthem 2 27.5 https://www.giant-bicycles.com/gb/anthem-2-2018

Its proving quite a challenge, I have seen some docs from Giant like this one here... https://www.giant-bicycles.com/_upload_cz/bikes/models/manual/MY14 GIANT Off-Road Bicycles Service Info.pdf
But I think thats a different year (2014 - MY14), but unable to locate for my bike and year!

Could anyone direct me where to find them and if there is a schematic of the maestro system?

Any help as always is greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Martin

Giant bike spares offered me ful kits inc bolts so that will work but knocking on the door of £100, no mention of the bearings g spec though, which was what I was really after.
So I took the linkage apart and photoed the bearings, I now have a full spec so can order individually.

To help anyone who may have a 2018 Anthem2 27.5 alu here is the set

63800 VRS x4
6900 VRS x2
6902 VRS x2
6802 VRS x4

There is the age old debate about the VRS, 2RS etc but Kinetic bearings quote LLU or 2RSV

Cheers all

Once you know the size of bearing, I can recommend TrailVision for sourcing the bearings.
https://trailvision.co.uk/

As well as bearings specifically spec'd for bikes, they also do kits for various brands of bike, including Giant.

I was advised to use TrailVision and I was not disappointed. The website is very helpful and the delivery was fast. I checked and their prices are competitive.
