I have found that Panzit.com has these bearings much cheaper than VXB or Boca Bearing.

Jim, sorry I didn’t see your post earlier! YES, ceramic globes (Balls) are available separately to rebuild what we refer to as cup/cone bearings found in a lot if bike hubs. You first have to determine what size your old ones are, then go to the VXB Bearing site and look them up. They are generally sold in bags of ten, and cost about $2/each.

The ones I got were in a retaining ring. I don’t know if loose ceramics are available or would work as well. Bob

Good article; now I just need to wait for my bearings to fail. The Flickr link (http://www.flickr.com/photos/7789950@N05/sets/721576%3Ca%20href=) is broke, according to Flickr — looks like a typo; hovering over the link gets a popup of “Full text of United States Patent Application Publication No. 04341445700″, and the HTML in that area is really weird. Might have something to do with the “.
