Bearing sizes for Campagnolo 8-speed hubs
« on: 15 February, 2012, 01:11:24 pm »
I bought a pair of Shamals in 1996 (1995 models IIRC) and it's about time I stripped and regreased the hubs before this season's time trials - I haven't done any maintenance on them yet!

The Campagnolo PDFs don't give a size for the bearings, only a part number. The Shamal hubs are basically Record hubs from the 8-speed era (early-mid 90s). After a lot of digging in archived forum posts I think I have got them narrowed down to this:

Front hub         (HB-RE008)   3/16"
Rear hub LHS   (FH-RE006)   1/4"
Rear hub RHS   (FH-RE004)   7/32"

Just wondering if anybody can confirm or deny this before I order some packets from simplybearings.

(Modern Campagnolo hubs are much more user-friendly - 5/32" for everything!)
