Tuber wheel bearings

Front 6204 (x2 bearings)

Rear 6205 (x2 bearings) + 62205 (x1 bearing, it's a bit wider than the other two)

All are 2RS

Do you need a blind bearing puller like the XB?

How does the third bearing fit in?

I only use a blind puller coz I think it's kinder to the hubs. You can get them out with some judicious fiddlind of a drift, like on the XB wheels.

Two bearings go one side and one on t'other.

Tubers with Castalloy wheels use 2x 6204 2RS in the front and the rear has 2x 6205 2RS on the drive side and 1x 62205 2RS on the brake side.
PM wheels are the same for the front but the rear uses 3x 6205 2RS.

No special tools required.

I'm doing really well. I have lost 20 lbs in 4 months... 15 lbs to go....

I should be allowed a bit of cake every now and again, like today... I had a cheeky slice at Castle Combe... ;)

i just looked on the xb centre website and noticed they want £61 for a pair of front wheel bearings!how can shops justify these prices when you can get the same or better bearings from your local bearing shop for about £7 each??do they think we are stupid or do people not bother to search out the best price?

:roll: Tell me about it, I bought them and i've got a few sets of bearings to get rid of :ill: at that price :headbang:
as soon as I get my arse in gear i'll have some cheap alternatives on offer. As I said before let me know what you need and i'll try and stock it ;)
