the mistery of the vanashing bearing.....

[Trashthumpy]

after a jolly ramp sesh a few weeks back my bike neva quite rode the same.......now it dosnt ride at all my rear wheel bearing "shat" itslef in a big way destroying my hub in the process!! so im up for a new hub (probaly whole wheel would be cheaper) and new bearings, so what hubs or wheelsets do people recomend? oh and im on a fairly tight budget

THE HUB:

WAS A BEARING ONCE:

cheers china, im gonna go ride my yzf now......

Thats an awesome war mark for your bike.... blowin out bearings... You should be proud!!!!

Yeah they are CHEAP china bikes. You get what you pay for.

But the beautiful thing is, for the money it costs to maintain a "real" dirt bike, you can just buy cheap china bike.... and after buying a few, eventually you end up with enough spares to build another.

I love cheap chinas.

 

[Trashthumpy]

lol thats a good way ov looking at it, but the problem i have is i have no money due to maintaining "a real dirt bike" lol

cheers

Good idea

.... but have you notice that if someone purchases a china bike, it is recommended that they change the chain, handle bars, frame, forks wheels, bearing, seat, spark plugs... etc...

By the end there's nothing original left

Put that china bike on a maintenance schedule and use a quality grease.
You'll be fine.

 

[Trashthumpy]

mate...ur a knob, clearly there is grease on the bearings, and i doubt grease would ov stoped this from happening its due to low quality bearings

 

[darb110]

ouch bro that hurts... wheels suck so bad too maintain im officially over them spokes and **** mainly but why not just get new bearings not a new hub ??

 

[Trashthumpy]

the hub should be smooth in the middle, so when the bearing colapsed in fell into the hum guaging the *** out of it (excuse my french)

 

[mad man]

guy had his motovert exact same thing happened

 

[Maylands Performance]

Hey Trash.
If you like bring your wheel in and I will have a look at it for you.It may be salvagable and not nescessary to scrap it if the bearing locating positions are not damaged !
Give us a call Monday

Cheers Brian

 

[Trashthumpy]

[Maylands Performance]

you should all put full contact sealed bearing in you wheels
i work for a bearing company and i put a set in my 110 about 18 months ago
i changed them out on friday
to find i didn't need to and they had been through some grief

as for the grease these bearings are greased for life stick ith japanese brgs
the only brands on the market under 30mm id that are made in japan are nsk koyo and nachi

everything alse is china tiawan korea

i'v eseen chinese brgs come through with no grease at all in them a good sign of "quality"

if you need any more info just ask
