has any one got a definitive list of ALL the adaptor kits needed for all the frame bearings on a transition sentinel v2? im just looking to stock up on the tools required for when i need to do it

the RRP kit looks fool proof to use pretty much but just need to know which adapters ill need for each bearing

cheers if any one can help

If you go to their website, it will show you how to choose the appropriate adapters for your bearings. You will need to just look at your bearings and get the bearing sizes from the seals.

I have had good luck ordering individual adapters from Wych Bearings in the UK - Search Results - WychBearings.co.uk

Some of the kits are harder to find than others so YMMV for finding a given kit.

Looks like adapter set 4 and 9 is what you need.

awesome thanks silentg im in the uk also so that uselful to know not heard of that site before

it seems theres 5 different style of transition bearings in the v2 sentinel - will just those 2 kits cover all the bases?

I was looking at Transition Bikes

I'm not very Transition fluent so apologies if I have the wrong Sentinel version.

Looks like 6903, 6902, 6802, 6900, 3802 which translates to this if that is the right version of the Sentinel.

spot on thank you - yes those are the ones id need just had it verified by transition - they said some will punch out or use a puller but for the full kit of RRP id need those ones youve mentioned

thanks

Let's step back a bit let me ask if you're preparing for possible future bearing replacement or do you have an immediate need for replacement now? And second, have you considered just maintaining and servicing the bearings over replacement?

just getting things ready for later in the year dude - just want to get the kits in ready, ive regreased inside the bearings already and put plenty of cover on them, however weve endured a real shitty wet winter here in the uk so its only a matter of time before they will need doing sadly, ive regreased even behind the seals to keep them going for the summer months (and will probably do them again too) want to get the kit at the ready and some spare bearings

Gotcha!

Has anyone purchased a bearing slide tool/extractor to pull out the chainstay bearings? If so, do you have a link?

Amazon or Goggle should be able to locate a slide hammer bearing extractor.
