Halo Track Hub cartridge bearing....

[GrumpyGregry]

(@itsbruce may know the answer to this, I think his purple hubs are the same as mine)

Does anyone know the size of the cartridge bearing in a Halo track hub?
Does anyone know if this bearing is the same size as the cartridge bearings in any of the Halo mtb hubs? (because I can source them off fleabay)
Does anyone know who to source this information?
Does anyone know how to source said cartridge bearing?

Cos one of mine is shot, (probs my own fault, may have overtightened chain)

Can't you pop the bearings out and look for the size which should be written on it? Then just go find the same size from a bearing supplier (such as simply bearings). They'll likely cost way less than bike-branded ones, but will be the same.

As a last resort yes, but I'd much rather have the right part to hand and pop out the old and pop in the new in one slick'n'easy operation.

I iz lazy innit.

If they are the same as Formula hubs, are 6000 2RS. SKF are my preferred brand

Have sourced some sale or return SKF 6000 2RS. Will pull hub apart on the weekend.

And the man from Ison says "The Halo track hubs run on 6000 size bearings."

Thank you @fossyant for the inspired pointer in the right direction.

Merci

They fit then, whoop.

SKS are excellent. Hubs like these make a good choice for commuting, low maintenance and cheap to fix. Thank goodness I picked these over some much more expensive hubs, my LBS was spot on,I.e. get the cheap hubs.

There is a big ££££ charge for the advice though.... Heh heh.
