U.S Source for Hope Bottom Bracket Cartridge
Long story short, I damaged one of the bearing cartridges on my brand new Hope BB by trying to install my FSA Comet crankset in it (apparently the axle is slightly larger than industry standard) . Anyway, where can I purchase replacement bearing cartridges in the U.S? I found them on wiggle.com which is U.K based. I'm fine with ordering from if there's no U.S source, but I'd like save on shipping costs and time.
Thanks
Thanks

google "61902 61802 61903 bearings". those are what you need. find out how many by googling "hope hub bearings". you may be able to get them at your local Ace Hardware store.
BTW, i am assuming you are looking for cartridge bearings. not bearing cartridges.

Are you going to try and fit the FSA crank in again once you've replaced the bearing?

No.... and recommendations for a single speed mountain crank/set would also appreciated.

Shimano xt or slx are pretty bomb proof and well made. Race face is trying to get a few of its new products out there cheap. Just be sure to get the pinch bolt type not the old spacer type.
