Hello Alta friends and family!
Ok, so some time ago I needed to replace the front wheel bearings on my Alta. I found the spacers were grooved out, and subsequently I found out that Warp 9 will not sell them!
I drafted up sketches, priced the material, sent it all off to be quoted by a CNC lathe shop. I planned on having them made out of 7075 alum to avoid anodizing, but it looks like having them made out of 5052 and hard anodized is only slightly more expensive.
How many people would be interested in a set? 26mm or 22mm?
Price will be more than the OEM price, the economy of scale is working against us here.
I was ready to pull the trigger in this month ago but life got in my way, again.
Thanks!
