Not paid by them or anything but just changed my front wheel bearings and got them from here:

You'll need 2 x 60032RS for the front wheel. They were made by NTN.
The 2RS means they have 2 rubber seals, so both sides...my old ones must've been plain old RS as they didn't have any seals on one side. Should help them last a bit longer I hope
Including swift postage they were £12.84, good service!

Its a lot less \"interesting\" round corners now.

I accidentally found a way of getting the old ones off, I started with a little \"Dremmel\" type thing grinding the old bearing off(after removing the cage and rollers). After a few minutes I'd got a groove running ALMOST vertically up the bearing, thought I'd try hitting it with a Hammer and old wood chisel.
Two light blows later and the bearing twists off up the spindle.piece of...

is there anywhere on this site where there is one comprehensive list of all part numbers etc that everyone has collated for the various bits ? I know the info is scattered around different threads but it would be mighty useful to have it all in one place !
