Check Mr. Cycles here http://www.mrcycles.com/default.asp, they have them listed still anyway.....If not, you may be able to get measurements for what you need and go to one of the bearing manufacturers directly and see if they have the right size....

he does, or at he lists them. if the other bryan's source there doesn't work out then i'll be left with spending my poor american dollar in the great british empire (if our economy is doing as well as they constantly say, then why is the dollar lower than it's been in years??).
