Recieved my wheels and brake assembly today(Thanks Peekster)and have some more goodies on the way.But I do have what may be a total noob question.I want to pick up some new wheel bearings but the ones on the original seem to be a weird size,the ID seems to be a hair under 5/8,the number on the bearing itself is N23-2RS-NR and a search of this number turned up nothing.Any help with this would definatly be appriciated.:thumbsup:

N23 series bearings are cylindrical roller bearings with zero side loading capability. The smallest one I could find has a 24mm bore. Sure that is the right number?

Those bikes were made in Ohio...doubt they used metric bearings...these are the bearings that go in the wheel "hats"...?

The bearing does say Japan on it also.

Micrometer them and then we can figure it out.
