Bike Bearings , Great Source !

Post by C George »

Don't pay dealership ridiculous prices for bearings.

Just about any premium bearing you'll ever want at roughly a 1/3rd of the oem price.

Action Bearing , Boston Mass
1800-225-4587

Over 50 years in business. You'll have to give them the number off your old bearing or the vernier specs.

Thanks. I'm moving this from the Classifieds to Product Reviews, so it won't get deleted. All the for sale sections are auto-pruned, if there's no activity for a while, *poof*, it goes away.

And here is a link to the site. Looks great!

If you cant fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.

It would be nice if we could get a bearing and seal number list going so when someone needs to get the bearings and seals they can get the manufacture # and go thru a bearing supplier and not have to buy OEM or a kit.

When ordering from a " bearing distributor " , the oem part number means nothing outside of the bike world.
For example , If the wheel bearing # off the bearing is 203F , that's an industry std. 203 bearing with one seal.
I'd always reccomend to order a 203FF which is sealed on both sides.
Even the swing arm roller bearings have a number on the side.
If you can't read it , have someone with a good quality digital vernier measure the bore of the housing and the sleeve O.D. that the bearings ride on.
We've bought bearings as small as R/C or fishing reel ones to a bearing 18" in diameter for a log skidder.

What I was trying to say was if there could be a cross reference for like the front wheel bearing = what ever the bearing number is. Not the oem number. Getting bearings from a distributer is fine if you have the number or want to measure but if the old bearing is gone then it takes a lot more work to get the right bearing. And if there is any shipping involved then any savings could be gone by the time you get the right one.
