Rear hub bearings - source?

[cjm_wales]

I'm pretty sure the bearings on my VR (2019, 600ish KM) are knackered.

The disc side feels gritty, there's a ticking noise under pedal load coming from that area. Boost mode also doesn't feel as pokey, and I'm sure I'm not imagining a sensation of increased drag.

So I'm going to try and replace them.

I have the novatech hubs, and the rear is a D462SB-SL-B12.

A bit of research suggests #6902 is the bearing used in the rear, x2.

Can anyone recommend a specific supplier? Prices vary between £6 and £12, and I don't want to buy cheap and buy twice.

Also, any bearing removal tool suggestions would be gratefully received

sorry cannot help with the tools issue,but bearings are pretty standard across the planet.Go to a good bearing supplier with numbers or better still the old bearings and you can buy any quality you want at very reasonable prices.Do not buy through bike shops,unless you want the luxury of having them do the job.Bearings are bearings are bearings,none are bike specific,buy skf or similar and all you need to worry about is fitting.
I have done it this way for 30 years .
all the best

I can recommend Trail Vison for their Blue Seal bearings.

Easy to use as they provide a range of code numbers that different manufacturers use on their (identical sized) bearings.

When I had selected my headset bearings, I Googled them and found that they were competitively priced.

These guys are good to deal with too Mountain Bike Bearings, MB Bearings , Bike Bearings Specialists. It's cheaper and easier for me to get bearings from the UK than here in NZ (for the most part).
