I decided it's time to replace my self-repaired-but-still-rides-great HD3 and bought a used HD4 that should arrive in a week. In anticipation, I'd like to order new bearings now, but can't find the specs online. Can anyone help me out and list the numbers for the 8 bearings on this frame? I've replaced my HD3 bearings myself a couple times already, and have the tools, so I don't feel like buying the whole link assemblies from Ibis.
One more question: Does anyone know if the HD4 derailleur hanger is the same as the HD3?
Nice upgrade! The HD4 is a solid step up from the HD3. I don’t have the bearing specs offhand, but I’m pretty sure a few folks here have done the swap before. Did you already check the Ibis tech docs, or are they missing the info for the HD4?
