    Originally .120-.125, upgraded to .140 for more reliable extraction.
    Any good bicycle shop should be able to set you up with some.

    If you always install/remove inside of a ziplock bag, you'll never lose another one.

    +1, that's what I did and now I have a good supply of .140" bearings for future builds and improving the extraction on Savages owned by friends.
