Can anyone help me find out what bearing size for my rear hub please? - Rhythm Comp TLR Disc 29
Hello all,
I've got Rhythm Comp TLR Disc 29 wheels (http://bontrager.com/model/07853) and the website boasts the following specification/features:
Features
* Sealed bearing hubs, 6061 series aluminum rim and butted j-bend spokes all add up to a wheel that is durable and easily serviced
I'd like to replace my rear bearings as the rear wheel has limited momentum when I turn it (I've removed the brake caliper so I know it's not badly adjusted brake pads).
Looking at the CRC website, under bearings (http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/SearchResults...) there's a host with different id numbers (6000, 6081, etc.).
I'm trying to find out what bearings I need for my bike before I disable my rear hub. Any idea how I do this please?
The feature states its a "Sealed bearing hubs, 6061 series aluminum rim..." (notice the typo in aluminium). But there aren't any 6061 bearings I can see, plus this number looks like it relates to the rim, not the bearing... confused!
Any idea?

Note, LBS said the only way I can find this out is to dismantle, read a bearing no. and order...
But surely there's a spreadsheet or the like somewhere with this on it? Or am I kidding myself>
isn't 6061 the grade of alluminium? I allways read the numbers off the BRGS that way ensures accuracy and you dont order wrong parts
Thanks 'cracked'. I'd agree, further research suggests 6061 is the grade.... so no closer.
Enjoy that lovely bike of yours.
Dude - ring Clarence Street Cycles. They will certainly know.
They will have a wheel there with the same hub and just match 'em up.
I"m almost certain that it has the same internals aas a DT Swiss hub, but might be wrong.
Chris at CSC will be able to tell you for certain.
Cartridge bearings aren't that hard to remove and replace (BB's sometimes excepted). You should be able to remove, measure and replace without wrecking anything if you use a light touch. Use a vernier caliper to measure.
I wouldn't rely on the verbal advice of a bike shop mech - I'd be wanting to see service docos if measuring directly does turn out to be too hard.
nock them out and take them down to ABC bearings brookvale they will match them up ,Pay a little bit more for the better ones cheers hope that helps
