Mardave diff balls

[Allan1875]

Anyone know what size they are if I want to replace them with balls other than the ones offered on the mardave site? :D

Cheers.

Ignore him Allan, the size could have been posted just as easily! :D

They are 1/8th balls. The very best you can buy anywhere are these:

I've got four sets the oldest of which date back to 2006 and are still in regular use. They are pretty much indestructible in my experience - I say pretty much because what destroys a set for me is dropping them on the floor and not finding them again! I've never worn or broken one.

I'm sure someone will tell us that there are better quality available somewhere, but for this price? Nope, it's no contest!

Their bearings are also excellent and good value. If you have some mates who are interested to, then get a bulk order together. Bruce is a great guy and will answer your e-mails. HTH :)
