Thanks pgk, I completely missed that when I searched before. I'll contact them.

I don't think it's a very well known brand. It's called a Sprint Elite XZ1 and when I google that all I get is someone in Dundee selling one for £50 back in 2014

All measurements were made with a digital caliper. It's an inexpensive one but I think it's accurate. The OD measurement is the bush not the flange, the flange OD is 28mm.

Not sure what they're made of, I agree that does look like rust.

5/8" x 15/16" sounds close enough to me. It's a cross trainer not a nuclear reactor so I can live with a bit of play. Worst case scenario is I fall off it.

Googling 5/8" x 15/16" Bushing comes back with quite a few suppliers, mostly in the US. I'll email some of the UK suppliers first but if I have no luck I'll buy from abroad.

Paul I like the way your mind works, suppliers balancing cost of production Vs being the only source of spares Vs deliberately making their old products unrepairable. It has a ring of truth. Or maybe spending time reading internet forums has made me a conspiracy theorist

Hi all,

I'm trying to fix my trusty 10 year old cross trainer. There are some bearings that are quite worn which I think are called bushings. They push fit into a steel tube and a steel shaft runs through them. Because they are so worn on the inside I have measured the shaft diameter instead to get an inside diameter for them. The measurements I've taken are:

Internal diameter (diameter of the shaft) 15.4mm

Outside diameter 24mm

Length 17mm

There's also a flange on one end and a notch cut into the side.

I've googled bushings and found a few websites like BearingShopUK, SimplyBearings, BearingBoys etc. but none of the bushings they sell quite match what I need.

So my questions are, is this a non-standard size or possibly an imperial size or perhaps this isn't called a bushing and I'm googling the wrong thing?
