For anyone that wants to know i have just bought a bearing for the idler pulley on my xb from Simply Bearings (simplybearings.co.uk) mine is the single bearing double row angular contact type with 2 rubber seals. 17x40x17.5mm icluding P&P and VAT £34.85 part number 3203A2RS1TN9MT33 it is an SKF unit. I have not fitted it yet or checked it against the bike but it looks right on the bench. I will fit it soon. |

see my first post above, I lied!!!! well not quite lied more like got it completely wrong  When i asked the very kind people at Simply bearings to match me a bearing I gave them the number from my bearing except I forgot to put my fecking glasses on  and gave them the wrong number. The number of my bearing (actually bearings - there is 2) is 6203 in NTN which is 6203.2rsh.SKF in SKF.thats the bad news now for the good news - the kind people at simply bearings refunded my £34 on my original perchase and sent me overnight delivery the right bearings which cost £9 the pair!!!!!!!!  When I have recovered my self respect I will do a "how to" with lots of pics.

If it makes you feel any better I just got new wheel and swingarm bearings form there and Pash had just got cheaper ones from E-Bay.  It's sods law as soon as you buy something you will find it cheaper somewhere else. |

Beware cheap bearings. |

That's why I always buy from a bearing supplier and always buy SKF or similar. |

The world of bearing supplies is one of biggest "rogues and vagabonds" type markets I've ever seen. Beware cheap bearings with big names on because if they are overly cheap they will be- a)Counterfeit (yes, it's true, I have seen many counterfeit "SKF" bearings). OR b)Extremely old stock (yes, I've seen plenty of these too and bearings do have a shelf life). The quality of the bearing supplier is just as important as the name on the bearing box. I tend only to buy through big names like BSL. Just be careful what you use in safety critical applications. |
