GSB's Whyte PRST-4 build

[mdj82]

Im just trying get hold of a front spherical bearing for a PRST4 and the only real option is this, the bottom one on the jpg as ive only just realised the top one is slightly out according GSBs technical info on the first page of thread!

Would this suffice? it wont be abused!
Or, has anyone got a genuine whyte one i could purchase from them??!

Thx

Are you in the Uk?

If you want a Rolls Royce solution, to do it once, do it properly, and forget all about it;

If you want a proven solution that’s not Rolls Royce, but still a good bet;

If you want a cheap low quality bearing with a decent sized mark up;

Ask Whyte...

Re: Re:

I’ll let you into a secret, it’s all cut and paste from earlier in this thread. (Page 6 IIRC)

Yes, here's my own cut and paste, just for completeness..." I've bought an IKO PB10. My last one had become very noisy but had a groove worn around it. I'll keep it properly greased this time. It was £18 from BRT bearings. They have a few shops including in Chorley."
Didn't Whyte originally fit IKO bearings?

Re:

Does anyone have a pdf or similar of the original brochure or manual for the PRST 1 or 4 Whyte bikes no longer seem to have it on there website?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Re:

I have the PRST 1 and the JW4 manual.

If you have a PRST 4, then the first will cover the front, and the second one will cover the rear.

Can’t upload .pdf files here, so PM me an email address and I’ll send them.

 

[Justonemorebike]

That would be great thanks, unfortunately I don't appear to be able to PM anyone at the moment (not enough posts or something) if you could can email them to my work email address that would be great it's "deleted"
