Yeah, the stock bearings are pretty bad.:-(

 

[MOVIN-SLOOOOOOW]

are the new age bearings the same sizes?

They are the same axles just with a different name. EnRoute and New Age do not manufacture the axles.

Thank you so much sir!!!

No problem. I took my new axles apart just to find out. :lol:

I was going to order some from Bocca since that what I use to use when I raced.......but it was going to be over $100. :shock:

there is minute differences in the axles to the naked eye absolutely the same but the bearings are the same reguardless of which one you have

The current New Age and current EnRoute are the same.

There are lots of versions of the axles though, small tolerance changes here and there. It is a bitch to keep my 3D models up to date :roll:

There are two other changes too ;-) From the very first set (all black) to the most recent set I have.

Too late. :lol:

Old thread, new life (searching DOES work). I can't remove the large "outer" bearing from the stock V1 Berg knuckles so need to replace them for my new VP knuckles. Is this the correct choice (see link)? There are several different ones to chose from: metal, flanged metal, rubber, ceramic and revolutions(?). The stock ones have a blue rubber ring around the center between the two steel rings so...

this could be the right one but thought I should consult the experts first.

The large bearings in the knuckles are 10x15x4mm no matter which knuckles you have...the outer bearings are the same throughout as well...5x11x4mm. The only difference is if you've had some custom work done to allow the use of 12mm outer bearings.

Thank you!

Every set I have encountered were stuck in the knuckle. There is some sort of a glue of loctite substance on them. I don't recommend reusing them unless you are in a pinch. An easy way to get them out that Ive had 100% success with is heat. I hold the knucle by the arm with a pair of pliars and heat the knuckle (not the bearing) with the map torch a LITTLE bit. I get it nice and warm then tap the knuckle on the table and they pop right out every time. Clean them up and relube them and they are good to go. This works with most all knuckles when you get a bearing stuck in there.

If you run Super300's you need 6x11's (which are like gold) or mod the Knuckles to accept 6x12's.
