I was able to get a set from Alan Buehner a few years ago. If he doesn't have them try Jake Fisher. Get the balls at your local bicycle shop, they can sell you very high quality bearings at a good price. The balls are .250 in. dia. The manual calls for 16 balls per set, I think you can get one or two more in than that. the rule of thumb is put as many balls in as you can and then remove one for clearance. The o-ring is something you can get at your hardware store. Take your races and balls down to the store with you so you can get the right one. The o-ring should fit a little tight. Don't worry about friction on the steering action, by the time you put the handlebars on you won't notice it. Gavin
