Token hub bearing replacement
Anyone have any experience of replacing the bearings in the hubs of Token
rear wheels. A friend of mine bought a pair of these wheels in Australia about two years ago. The rims are C30A and the hubs are - well it looks like C.C.Lira but the graphic art work is so stylised as to make it virtually unreadable. However there is readable identification mark - TK195-07L. The wheels have bladed spokes. The seals have completely failed on one of the 4 bearings and the bearing has corroded so badly that it has broken up. If it is possible to replace the bearings does anyone know where I could get hold of a set in the UK and how difficult the replacement job might be. It looks as though it would simply be - press the old ones out and the new ones in. I have already stripped the hub down completely save for pressing out the bearings. Graham. |

I use an old screwdriver and a mallet. Then press in the new ones with a block of wood and a hammer/mallet, making sure that everything's even and flush. Just a couple minutes time. Grease the outside of the bearing--as it's steel friction fit in alu--which could otherwise chemically weld together. |

All I now need to do is track down a supplier of the required bearings unless of course they are a generic spec which I could get from any bearing supplier. Anyone know what the generic equivalents might be? Graham. |

If you have a caliper, perhaps measuring the ID, OD & thickness will get you a serviceable replacement. I don't have any experience with cartridge bearing hubs, but I do with cartridge bearings, I'd be surprised if they use anything unique. |

Failing a legible number (it'll be stamped on an outer edge) they can almost always find an equivalent. |

I did as you suggested and eventually found numbers on the old bearings. They turned out to be 2 x 6802-2RS and 2 x 6902-2RS which are indeed standard generic bearings and are readily available here in the UK over the internet for £7 delivered. In that case the wheel should be back on the road next weekend. Graham. |

There's a lot to be said for handcrafts and workmanship, but being able to replace a bearing anywhere on the planet regardless of the product's origin is a beautiful thing. |
