Contacting Talon is probably a good starting point. They will actually build a complete wheel for you if you so desired and it will still be considerably cheaper than OTR (for the same product).

Cheers mate !

Will start looking into it shortly!

I am sorted for now as my local garage managed to install new bearings so good for now.

Will try to get in touch with Talon.
