Look keo 2 max bearings
« on: 14 June, 2019, 06:57:55 pm »
I'm trying to replace the bearings on my Look keo 2 max.  Got the old ones off and they are 12x18x5mm (id x od x width).  I can't seem to find a replacement anywhere only 12x18x4mm seem to be available.

Anyone know where I might find one??

Thanks

Martyn

kits like this one

https://www.airevelobearings.com/product/look-keo-pedal-bearings/

claim to fit all Keo models and come with 6701-2RS bearings which are 12x18x4mm.  If you need a 5mm wide bearing maybe a 4mm wide one can be made to work with a spacer?  FWIW I can't think that there is a large fundamental benefit in going to 5mm width unless it is something to do with the fit/support in the pedal body; the bearing cross-section is already 'oversquare' i.e. it is 3mm high x 4mm wide, so going wider won't get larger balls in it, or a higher load rating, I would have thought.

cheers

I have tried that kit and there is too much play.  I will have to get a spacer.
