If you are refering to the swing arm on this style of Super V

You can find the bearings at Bike-components.de . They are Endurobearings which are one of most reliable and well built bearing retaillers in the bike industry.

Thanks JohnnyD.

Do these enduro bearings have a number or code ?
Yes, the link in my previous post will take you directly to the product page from the website.

I personally use the type 2 bearings on my bikes(they fit more than just my Super V as they also fit both of my Jekylls) but they aren't required. They were on sale when I got them so I bought the "upgraded" version. They number 1 priority is the dimensions (Inner x Outer x Width):17 mm x 30 mm x 7 mm which is an exact fit to what I had removed from the bike. The number I removed is a 6903 RS. (The RS stands for Rubber Seal) The LLB means the same thing.

Here is a des

Type 1:
Design:deep groove ball bearingsTolerance:ABEC 3Recommended Use:hubs, bottom brackets, headsetsInner Race Material:steel (52100)Outer Race Material:steel (52100)Ball Material:steelSeals:LLBBasic static load rating:2.1 kN (477 lbs)Manufacturer Number:6903LLB
Type 2:
Design:deep groove ball bearingsTolerance:ABEC 3 / ABEC 1Recommended Use:Suspension pivots, shocksInner Race Material:steel (52100)Outer Race Material:steel (52100)Ball Material:steelSeals:LLUBasic static load rating:3.4 kN (763 lbs)Manufacturer Number:6903LLUMAX
Type 3:
Design:deep groove ball bearingsTolerance:ABEC 3Recommended Use:hubs, bottom brackets, headsetsInner Race Material:stainless steel (440C)Outer Race Material:stainless steel (440C)Ball Material:stainless steel (440C)Seals:LLBBasic static load rating:1.7 kN (381 lbs)Manufacturer Number:S6903LLB


For reference this is one of the original bearings I removed last year and are 31 years old. They are both just plain ABEC 3 steel bearings and held up fine for decades of use. In fact I just cleaned them up and applied fresh grease to keep them as emergency backups.

These are the what the enduro bearings look like
Standard ABEC 3 steel bearing (the full stainless looks the same but is made of stainless vs chromoly steel)

The Type 2 looks like this

Thanks for the information Johnny D.

No i haven,t got 6802.
But when i click the link, i see the 6802 first. So i ask
Thanks now i know i need the 6903.
Now i need a try to get the old one out.
And after the bearingsare done, i need to look for rear suspension bushings because the old one are gone after 32 years.

My bushings were fine, but you might not be so lucky. There is a good video on YouTube from a guy called Tony's Hobbies that shows you how he removed them without causing any damage. The one thing to really make sure to prevent damage too is the rubber insert that the bushings ride inside on the upper mount. There isn't any source for that.

Glad I have been able to help you find the bearings.

Thanks JohnnyD
I order the bearings today.
And about the bushings and mounting kit.
I think it,s hard to get.
The shock is a Marzocchi and not a Fox.
The mounting parts are alloy,and the bushings are metal .
I try over here in the Netherlands for a service center.
Maybe i am lucky,otherwise in the future a Risse..

Thanks for your help.
