Aragorn Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 FRC7065 is for Axle types 61L 61S 63L 64L FTC5105 is for 20L 21L 22L 23L At a guess i'd say 5105 is railko and 7065 is taper bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 So What the situation re Chrome vs Teflon ? Thought Teflon had replaced chrome, but if thats not the case whats the key differences ? and whats best fer what ? Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 When my 110's chrome swivel balls were replaced, I was told that chrome covered are no longer available, due to the chroming process being banned because the chemicals used were far to toxic.

HoggyN Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 The chemicals used in the chroming process are toxic, but whoever told you that the process had been banned was wrong. There must be some other reason that teflon is now the preferred coating. It's probably just cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 I reckon with my Heavy size 15 Carbon foot print I should really try and have the toxic chrome Swivels Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
