technowaldo Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 replaced my sons bottom shock bearing with a nki1020 needle roller from simply bearings(£8.50) over a year ago and still as good as new only thing you have to do is pack the sleeve which comes with the bearing with a washer either side .certainly wont be buying a cylindrical bearing at £30+ again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl ekblom Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I think THK SB12 should fit but I don´t know if they are cheaper. /Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I think THK SB12 should fit but I don´t know if they are cheaper. /Carl Thanks carl, but i think they are a 7mm ODW, and the originals are more towards 10.2mm could these bearings be a one off pattern part,,, ??

keithns Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hi I have searched the internet for these and the only thing available I can find is a bearing reference number GE12E (they are only £3.75+VAT), they are the right OD and ID but the wrong width, they are 7Wide OD and 10Wide ID. They might be worth a try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Keithns, like you said their just a little bit lacking in meat,and i know it would be a constant niggle, every time i rode a drop off,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
