Default carrier bearings

Hi, Just ordered 32 of these bearings at £4.30 each plus £8.70 postage. You can even use any spare bearing spacers you have to produce the sleeve, they need to be turned down by taking about 1mm off and then facing off to 27mm. I would recommend an interference fit between the sleeve and the bearing.

I can totally refit two carriers (32 bearings) at a total cost of about £200 including getting the sleeves made (i have numrous spare spacers), compared with about £1000 for off the shelf 40mm x 110mm x 27mm,

I have also checked today, British, Canadian and Windsor bearings are all of this type.

Thanks Pete for the advice.

Cheers Kevin
