Forward Components Eccentric Bottom Bracket bearings

[MrBaker]

There is a FC EBB with bad bearings I am having a dispute over, what bearings does one get to replace them for Hollowtech II cranks.

You can use the bearings from Enduro for a shimano Hollowtech crank. There are lots of other sources as well for bottom bracket bearings.

I believe Phil Wood is another choice.

The bearings used are industry standard 6805 2RS. The specific manufacturer is KML, but any bearing with the 6805 2RS designation should work. They are 37mm x 25mm x 7mm.

KML Bearing & Equipment Ltd. - A leading worldwide bearing supplier, providing a wide range of bearing types and configurations servicing many types of industries and markets.

You can buy them over the counter at many retail bearing shops. Phat Moose cycles in Ottawa, Canada has a supply of them.

Also, didn't the forward concept EBB support the GXP crank with a different bearing? Can you post that as well so future search can find it?

If it's the second generation FC EBB, I wouldn't suggest the Enduro bearings. My recommendations is using the Phil Wood bearing along with this Phil Wood dust shield on the left side:Amazon.com: Phil Wood Sealed Outboard Bearing Dust Cap (Bushing): Sports & Outdoors

This setup should give you rock solid reliability.

The forwardcycles.com website seems to be down and my post count is too low to PM forwardcomponents. Anyone know if they are still selling the EBB's? Got any contact info?
Thanks!

[bad mechanic]

They are not selling them anymore.

Thanks bad mechanic. Looks like Phil has stepped up, or it's go with the eno hub.

I use the Eno eccentric hub myself on my other single speed, and it really does work quite well.
