40mm X 20mm Mystery Bearings exist!

[jagur]

what was originaly brought up by 'forget_your_life'
(http://tinyurl.com/a9n65) and later impacted by 'pdc'
(http://tinyurl.com/drdn9) can be yours!

its now only a matter of diligence with your Torker suppier....it took
me two months to get them. i now have 3 pair!

these rare bearings allow for a flawless fit of kh 2004/2005 hubs to a
frame with spec'ed 40mm bearing holders.

HURRAH!

I've been following that struggle of yours...congratulations on the
victory! :) Just out of curiosity, what was involved in convincing the
Torker people to track them down?

My Nimbus II extra wide 24" frame has 40mm bearing holders, this is why
my 42mm KH bearings don't fit properly and always make the bolts work
loose. Good use of 'Nimbi'.

i basicly told my shop to tell the Rep all about how hard to find the
size was and that i wanted some spares.....well 10 phone calls and 2
months later the Rep finally calls back...He says they could only sorce
5 pair, so the shop says "we will take them all!!!!!" (since they are
so hard to find.)

i bought 3 pair and the shop still has 2

if anyone wants some of these, i would ask your Torker dealer now and
stay on them about it....i think they only make these by request after
request after request after request etc...so on and so forth.
:rolleyes:
