Which bearings for Novatec F482SB freehub ?

harringtonp

I've a nice set of carbon hoops and on the rear wheel got my mechanic to replace the 2 bearings. He mentioned that the freehub is beginning to sound rough and if I get the bearings he can replace them.


I generally give him bearings and he fits them so I need to work out what they are. The hub is Novatec F482SB, i.e.

but I can't for the life of me find anything on the freehub bearing dimensions ? I'll be putting in an order by bearings soon and would like to get these while doing so.

Any links or recommendations on where to get the sizes ?

Both of those agree, 2x 6902rs in the freehub

As per the other thread, get bearings with LLU seals - otherwise you'll end up with trashed bearings and having to buy a new freehub (this happened to me when I tried to be a cheapskate and it cost me in the long run )

Thank you, see they are the same as the larger hub shell bearing.
