Well I ground out the damaged rivnut and noticed my shock bush was worn (again - but it's lasted about 18 months now which is better than the originals which lasted 3). When I tried to dismantle it all, I found all the lower bearings in the frame were notchy so they need replacing as well. Anyone know where to buy a set of replacement bearings? The only website I've found so far is BETD, but they are nearly £48 for a set which seems a lot. I've found somewhere selling Enduro Max bearings, but I don't know what sizes I need  |

When i got my bearing replaced, i just gave a list of bearing numbers to a bearing shop in Reading and they went and found me the bearings, yours should have sizes on the side aswell? I tried BETD first but their bearing set had some bearings the right size and some the wrong size for my 7.5

If you can measure your old bearings you can try simplybearings.co.uk.

Cheers for the info about the bearing numbers (that was too obvious for me). I will get the magnifying glass out ;D
Tweeks guessed around £50 for a set of bearings plus about £30 labour but they are going to get back to me with a price.
