Steering Yoke Ball Bearings 400/four
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Does anyone know if the steering race ball bearings are a standard size or can you buy a complete kit DS want 29pence each for them?
Johnwebley:
Check out the local industrial estate for bearing supplies.
They should have loose balls.
If you will pardon the expression
Get them to mic them for size

Also try push bike shops.
TrickyMicky:
Please forgive me if I've missed something obvious, but if you've gone to all the trouble of dismantling the front end, surely it's a lot less hassle just to replace the whole lot with a set of taper roller bearings. From the way I've read it, it gives the ipression that you are leaving the old races in place and just renewing the balls?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
If taper bearings were a straight fit that would be great but from what I have read it isn't and you end up with not much thread when you fit the top nut unless someone has made a conversion kit. Naturally I would replace the races if badly worn. It appears the top race bearings were more corroded on mine. Does anyone know the size as a don't have a micrometer as yet.
