JS1500 Senior Retro Guru Feb 11, 2007 #3 Thanks for the tip. So they'll take a generic bearing? The wheel is cheap so I might just go for it. Edit: Oh, and what's CRC?

JS1500 Senior Retro Guru Feb 11, 2007 #8 Yeah the wheel is cheap due to the bearings needing replaced. I've got another Hope hub which would probably benefit from it's first new bearings in 13 years too, so thanks for all the info - it'll come in handy. The model pictured above is a Hope Suspension Hub, right? :?:
