Hi there,
I have a SUrly 'new' rear fixed hub wih surly 7901 bearings. (deceased)
I have a few questions if anyone can help.
The Surly bearing haven't been that great and no one stocks them anyway, so I'll have to order something and thought I'd step up a bit in quality.
1) How do i remove the bearings? They seem pretty tight in the hub case (I have removed the axle etc. I'm only a partial fool!)
2) Phil Wood's website says his PWX01 bearings are the right replacement and others recommend his bearings. In other places I have seen these specced as 6901 bearings which aren't the same as 7901. So is there any problem here?
3) If they are ok where can I buy some in the UK?
Hope you can help.
