Custom bearings... UK
« on: October 01, 2009, 04:29:52 am »
Hi all... does anyone know of anyone/any company in the UK that can make custom bearings to order?  Or outside the UK but will ship to the UK?

Just bought a new frame that uses a BB30 bottom bracket... BB30 crankset choice is slim and dont particulary want to use a sleave in order to use a non-bb30 crankset.

Want to see if I can get a ceramic BB30 bearing made with a custom 24mm "bore"... any ideas?

these guys are very local to me - try them? http://www.derbybearings.co.uk/ . If they don't stock them they might know someone who will make them.

Thanks for that Orange... i've been talking to a couple of companies and the dimensions of the bearings I want will bring issues... something to do with spacing of the bearings and the crank axle not being supported correctly... anyway... have decided to go with normal BB30 bearings but use a shim to accomodate a 24mm axle... Wheels Manufacturing make one.
