Hi Bret,

this bearing is definitely not replaceable with actual used parts:  
Nowadays are the standard type 6001RS (28x12x8) installed.

Another 3 version bearing was already posted here  
[Changing wheel cartridge bearings](https://www.stridaforum.com/t/changing-wheel-cartridge-bearings/404/3)  
interesting that the given size is different to your results (?).

Yes and no…please be careful!

If you want to use these narrower bearings note that you also must use a longer bearing spacer to balance the missing two millimeters!!

Please refer to part nr. 337 of the drawing or page 25 of the strida 3 manual.  
Don’t even think of skipping this tube… ![](http://www.peppiclip.de/Smilies/assets/images/schimpf48.gif)  
(As this is just an aluminium tube of certain size it should not be a big problem to create a clone which is exactly 2 mm longer.)

Hopefully you’re familiar with bearing extractor tools and their handling 😉
