Well its certainly not retro, so Ill ask here.
Ive inherited a Scott Strike FX full sus frame from 2002, that has knackered pivot bearings. The spacers that should go in the frame before the bearings are also missing. Ive managed to track down and buy replacement bearings, but on speaking to the local Scott dealer, he tells me there should be spacers on each side, and the only way he can supply them is by selling me the full bearing kit, which has the axle, shims, bearings spacers and all the bolts. At £45! for two spacers. So i thought if i could find out the exact size of the spacers I could get a replacement from a hardware place or smiddy. But I cant find specifications for them anywhere.
So does anyone out there know what size they are? width and inner diameter? even better, does anyone have a spare set? what would happen if i fitted the bearings with no spacers?
i know its a bit of a long shot, but i hope someone can help, itd be great to get on with the barrell scraping build!
