Hed3 Front wheel bearings.

Posted on
  • Ordered by mistake, I have a brand new pair of ceramic hybrid bearings I can't use as my wheel is a more recent version with smaller bearings.
    Code for these is 6001-2RZ measuring 12 x 28 x 8

    Price is £15 posted for the pair.

    Cheers Jon

  • If you ordered them through eBay, from a particular supplier (can't remember the name), you may want to check that the balls inside are actually ceramic (pry-off the seal with a scalpel blade).
    If the balls are silver and shiny (and not grey/black, or possibly white), you've been 'done'.
    I only mention as I purchased four, not at the same time, and one was suspiciously light in weight compared to the others, which turned out to be the only ceramic one, despite me having shelled out for four.
    Unfortunately I had them sat in my parts drawer for over a month before I realised, and I'd already left feedback (when they arrived), so CBA raising a dispute with the seller.
    Otherwise, GLWS!

  • Cheers for the heads up Lucas.
    Yeh from the US on eBay. Feedback looked solid though. I'll pop the seals off and have a look as a mate has just said he wants them.

    I've ordered the correct size from WhychBearings. Should have done that in the first place, knob!

  • Mine were from a UK-based seller, so hopefully your US ones are legit!

  • Fingers crossed. I didn't realise the newer wheels had smaller bearings, that's what caught me out.

  • New bearings spot on. Not sure why I didn't order from them 1st time round.
