Are these the correct size for Redline Tec-Matic cups and spindle sleeve's? 1-1/2" outer, 1-1/8" inner? Thanks.

Them look like Hadley's, but I could be wrong.

They do look like hadley's.

I am trying to make sure that they fit Tec-Matic cups before I decide what to do with them. I am pretty sure they fit Hadley's. Can anyone out there measure or give me measurements of their Tec-Matic bearings? It would be a big help. I just want to hang on to them if they fit in case I find cups later on down the road.

I have a REDLINE Tech-Matic directions for installation that came with them. Unfortunately it doesn't give any specs.

A Hadley bearing and a tecmatic bearing are the same. One goes into the cup from the front and one from the rear.

OD = 1 1/2 inches
ID = 1 1/16 inches
thickness = 9/32 inches (at inner race)

Thanks guys. I measured exact this time. I was not accounting for the contour of the inner race so I measured a larger diameter. Everything is just as raybeard told. These fit my Kastan Uniblade hubs, Kastan cranks and my Kastan Tec-Matic II BB for 401's. I just wanted to make sure. Thanks.

Don't mean to hijack yr thread but where do you guys source those bearings from (if anywhere)? Over here in the UK the bearing suppliers reply "Go back to the manufacturer" but I've got a strange feeling that Redline may be all out of those right now!

I need just one, and I know of someone else on here who's in the same predicament so if anyone's got one or two spare please LMK, thanks.

These are original old stock. I was trying to figure out the same thing Long-Haul, wondering if they are available today.

Hadley made the first Tecmatics for redline.
