does anyone know *IF* the front and rear wheel bearings are the same diameter/size etc?
bought a set of front and rear off ebay, just arrived all 4 loose ina bag with no label to say front/rear. they "look" the same....
dont fancy knocking the old ones out until i know for sure as bike is only transport now.

Do they have a code on them ???
Ask the seller

6004RS

why ask seller when they are the ones that sent them! i am checking if they have made an error so that if i do need to phone them i can tell them there is an error!

6004 should be the correct size but surely it wont be loose to fit them.

are you sure the size is written on the bearing itself ?

loose to fit them?
sorry lost me on that one.

6004 is stamped in to the side of the "sealed" part of the bearings.
dug out my microfiche and checked the part numbers/qty. yes they are the same.

Ensure you buy DDU or 2RS bearings i.e. double sealed - other wise any debris inside the wheel will quickly kill a single sealed bearing - save £2 waste a load.

yep they are double sealed.
rear bearings now in. will do the fronts when i get the wheel off next time round.

BTW.. whacking your thumb with a mallet when the drift slips off the bearing edge HURTS LIKE HELL!...

Dont do it then...............
