Hey Guys and Girls,

Just wanted to let you know I just started a online store selling bolts and bearings for the mountain bike community. I am based in Canada so this may not interest you lucky Americans who have access to everything you need for bikes at all times and at good prices. ANy way if you are interested check it out...


Biker Bolts and Bearings

RIght now I have a promotion where if you can tell me bearing part numbers for bikes I dont currently know you get 50% off

 

[ncrider]

hey good luck with that.
You might want to correct some grammatical errors on the your site. I noticed the rock mountain and santa cruz sections under bearings both had errors. Could be more.
Just helping ya out.

Looks good, it's always a pain in the arse to go into the local bearing shop and find out they don't have certain bike-specific bearings in stock, and to order it you need to order 3000 of them- this happened to me last time I needed a pedal bearing....

I would also recommend listing some bearings for other parts, like pedals, headsets and wheels. Some of those small part bearings are hard to find......

That is definately my intention. It is just a matter of finding the part#s. :evil:

Hey man

good idea on the site.

FYI, I use firefox for a browser and the site is all over itself on my browser. Its unreadable in some sections

 

[Spunger]

I agree with DW........it is definately a good idea on the site.

I always used Boca Bearings to get my bearings from. Ordering them from the Manufacture can be a ripoff. They almost always say the size right on the side.

If anything I can get you info on a M1 (2002-2003) as I have a spare set of all their bearings if that helps. I'll repost later with info for ya!

Why only Grade 5 (about equivalent to Class 8.8) bolts?

kinda odd to say Grade 5 when all the bolts are metric too...

yeah i only use 12.9s, even when its overkill.

 

[DHS]

nice idea, will have to buy some bolts soon for some of the bikes. thanks for the reminder

Cool site... now we don't have to run around trying to find a bearing place. The last time I replace ALL the bearings in my bike (2000 Giant DH team) it cost me over $200. I would hate to have to replace the bearings on a Nucleon.

I'm assuming the metric bolts won't rust????

those bolts (in the pics) are the same ones you'll find at Canadian Tire, and yes they'll rust. The best are the McMaster blue bolts.

 

[ChrisRobin]

Ahhh...that's what I thought.

 

[MrFurly]

Yeah I currently only offer raw steel bolts. I am looking into stainless and titanium. I can get what ever steel grade or type people want. I just advertise what I have in stock.

 

[Stinky Boy]

Sounds like a great deal, I hope that it works out for you!!

This site is a good idea. I am not sure how you did the design, but it is all over on my browser as well (firefox, release 1).

You may want to think about a complete CSS designed site, as firefox and IE can both handle it well if done cleaninly (strict). Pretty easy to get the hang of too.

 

[MrFurly]

I am working on the browser issue now so hopefully FireFox and Netscape will be able to read it soon.

I also have stainless steel bolts available and will get them online shortly.

If you feel you need 12.9 grade steel for your bike more power to you. But it is really over kill when you consider 90% of the bolts on our bikes are used for clamping and won't meet the same sheer stresses that would require a stronger grade steel. I am hoping to get higher grade steel for shock bolts and even some titanium. Those are the bolts that most people break.
