In Reply to: Bells ring! So have you replaced the bearings? (nt) posted by Garth on September 11, 2006 at 06:35:54:
I ordered a set of four #3 grade ceramic hybrid 6x13x5 flanged bearings for my RB250's. Expect this to be a big improvement over stock. Another supplier stocks #5 hybrid ceramics, but not in a flanged bearing.
The ceramics are rounder, and have a lot less friction compared tgo steel balls. I hope they are quieter also.
The upgrade bearings are maybe the final tweak for my rewired, new stubbed, damped arm tube RB250's. The horizontal bearing replacement looks like it would also yield a better performing arm. Anone know the size of that one?George
