Wheel bearings.
Wheel bearings.
I need front and rear bearings and seals. I read through the what fits what thread and it only gives numbers for the rear. L-6303 & r-6203.
Am I correct to assume that these prices from LT are for sets (2) and not each:
Wheel Bearings All models Fronts £5.95 Rears £6.95 Wheel Bearing Seals Front & rear £6.75
Are there any other bikes that share the bearings and seals with the MK1 so I could get a set locally?

Re: Wheel bearings.
I think you will find the prices are each. You can take the bearings and seals down to a local bearing place as they are common enough. Prices will be a little cheaper but not hugely.

I might as well just pick up the whole kit from LT since I'll be ordering the seals from them anyway.

I have used the below with good results, on the seals you may have to compromise .05 mm or so on thickness, but for the saving , IMHO, that's fine .Z1K wrote:I might as well just pick up the whole kit from LT since I'll be ordering the seals from them anyway.
PS do not use the dearest bearings as these are designed for extreme hard wearing situation and are to rigid for wheel purposes.

It pays to have a digital set of calipers, i bought mine from LIDLs £6.00 and they have proved a great piece of kit.
By all means use LTs they do give a good service, but it's always worth having a second option, some playing with the calipers will soon give you the confidence to order bearings from your measurements .
