RC100 Bottom Bracket Bearings- Anyone want any??

[Dr S]

Mods please shift this if its against the rules

I need some bearings for my RC100 BB and will be going up to a local supplier today to put an order in. Whilst i'm there can i get anyone else any?? Not sure how much they will be, I don't want to make anything out of them- they will be at cost plus about a quid for postage.
I will be going mid afternoon so if you want any , shout now

Cheers for now
Si

Im sorted actually, although it may be handy to have a new condition spare set in, let me know the price and i'll weigh it up against my need.

(I'm being a bit tight atm....got an RC200 on its way to build)

I'll pm you my mobile so you can let me know via text too...

eyup, trouble at t'mill I'm afraid Pace fans. Correct size Bearings are no longer available. 20mm I/D bearings are the nearest size and do NOT fit. This leaves two options- have sleeves made to fit a 25 mm bearing or turn down the axle 2mm to take a standard, cheap and easily available 20mm bearing.
I will be going for the later option as this is the most ecconomical and lightest option- strength will not be affected with such a tiny amount of milling so will not be an issue.
this looks to be the only way to future proof the early RC 100 bottom bracket. It's a bit of a hassle but it looks like the only option.
If anyone needs bearings supplied and the axle machining I will gladly do it at cost. Just shout!

how will the reduction in OD of the shaft affect the spline? I appreciate 0.20mm is a gnats pube, but will the machining process damage the definition of the spline?

I could be tempted (although luckly I do have spare bearings for my RC100)

Dr S, Pace used 22mm bearings in the bottom bracket. This old post may help you. http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... c&start=15 at the bottom.
