Looking at replacing the following before the winter.

Wheel bearings

Headstock bearings

any recommendations over the overpriced OEM stuff?

Anyone know a decent place to get stuff anodised as well?

cheers guys

Wemoto are pretty good for spares. Reasonably priced too. Dunno about anodising any more. There was a place in Nuneaton, but that place has since burnt to the ground. Place in Coventry called Comer Plating might be able to help (024 7660 3805)

Bearings are usually made to an industry standard, so maybe also try the likes of Brammer, RS or your local engineering supplier.

I bought mine from Brammer Bearings - they have places all over the country.
Their website seems to be down at present or I would post a link- Just Google them.

A friend of mine owns this company in Kidderminster

Ask for Phil Bayliss, and tell him Martin Senior recommended him.

He's very passionate about his work - we've had some bizarre nerdy pub conversations about anodising & plating - and he's a biker - runs a Mille

Excellent stuff. As it happens I have some stuff that needs anodising. Will give him a call.
