Simply Bearings

The Workshop
1

I recently replaced the wheel bearings and seals on my 2018 Speedmaster and I found the OEM ones were NSK brand and I could get these for 1/3rd the price from Simply Bearings (https://simplybearings.co.uk). I made two purchases and the free delivery option came next day by 1st class post. :slight_smile:

The same wheel bearings parts are used across most of the range of modern Triumphs so I thought it would be useful to show the OEM part number and link to the exact item I bought. Assuming OEM bearings are standard tolerance sort, not some special ones, then the bearings should be identical items. The seals are of a random brand but same twin-lip construction.

I never buy OEM bearings. Just take the old sample to a bearing supplier and get them to match for me. Saves a fortune.

Revived this old topic because it’s just so bl**dy useful!

My rear wheel brake side bearing failed on Dartmoor over the weekend and when I get my bike back I can fit the same seals and bearings that Brown Mouse did 3 years ago. As he correctly stated, many of the Triumph range use the same bearings and after a cross check against the parts list, both our bikes do indeed, use the same size.

So, massive shout out to Brown Mouse for this, cheers mate, I owe you one!

Thanks, glad it was helpful :slight_smile: Shame about the bearing going whilst on a trip.

Further to the above, although Brown Mouse’s rear wheel bearings and seals are the same as on my 900, the front wheel is different. Just in case anyone else has the problem.
