I lost one doing a overhaul and want to change them out.
Where does one find such information? The MKS website is pretty
useless.

I would take the rest of the bb's to an LBS and let them give you some more of the same size.

Agree. Alternatively, if you're into tools you should be able to find something like this at your local tool/hardware store:


Good Luck!

There's a thread on bike forums that says 5/32".
Can anyone confirm this? I've heard that not everything said on the
internet is accurate (this group excepted, of course)

I emailed RBW and as usual got a prompt, helpful and presumably
accurate response.
In case anyone else needs this info, Marc says the bearings are (tiny)
1/8", 12 a side.
