Mavic 616 BB replacement bearings?

Doubledee · Feb 5, 2013

Hi , with a bit of luck ("Sheffield") I might have a Mavic 616 cartridge BB in my hands soon. Sounds like the bearings are not good. Is it possible to get replacements and fit them yourself, I would think its a certain tool, but are they standard bearings and easily(cheaply) available?

Cheers Darren

Hi Darren,

There's a technical sheet in the Gallery.
On page 2 it seems that the cups slide off the axle, cassette bearings press fitted onto the axle. Nothing too weird.

Also:

The bearings themselves are given Mavic part numbers, but are 16x30x9mm apparently, not standard 6902 (15x28x7mm) or 6903 (30x17x7mm).

SKF number SKF part # BB1-3507: (stolen pic from Flickr)

A quick look on the SKF Bearing finder ironically found nothing...doesn't look good for replacements

I've got the BB cutter if you need

All the best,

Many thanks Dan for taking the time to find this, I'll wait and see what it's like when I get it, the mechanics are easy but I'm guessing it could be tricky to find.
Cheers Darren
