What's on your bench today?

Well, I'd hate to see your dealer give you a tough time over it if you needed warranty work. After all, it is rather invasive surgery.

 

Aye fair point haha.

If you can get hold of the metal caged needle bearings, they are significantly stronger than the fibre ones!

 

Any idea where to source suitable metal-caged needle bearing for MS261 from? And/or manufacturer or specs (dimensions). I would really like to get hold of a couple.

OK, the caged needle roller bearing for the MS 261 has dimensions 10 x 14 x 13.5 mm (internal diameter, external diameter, length). But I have only been able to find bearings with Polyamide cages (typically designated "B 10 14 13.5 TN", where "B" designates "Cage with one row of needle rollers" and "TN" designates "Polyamide cage").

 

If anyone can identify sources of this bearing with a metal cage, please post info/links.

 

PS: This should have been posted in a separate thread –*sorry for the derail!

I bought a metal needle bearing for my 261 on eBay, and has not broken since. I think it was from mister solutions.

Where can you get a 560 crank from ?? Can not see them on pdf parts lists ? Failing that can you split it and replace the Conrod and replace bearing as it's supposedly three piece ?

[swinny]

You never cease to amaze mattyf! How do you brake them all?

[bobh]

Hey matt, is that the one back from spud or have you killed another one?

Trying to get it balanced and in line after you have split it (if you manage to) will be a right ball ache.
