Rusevelt Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) I was shocked in disbelief when i dismantled this hub and saw how tiny the loose bearings were, what was deng thinking of when he designed the internals on the drive side. i know its highly unlikely but is there anywhere i can get replacement race and bearings, or is it a buy a new hub? you'll need to zoom in on this pic to see the bearings inside.

AdamR28 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 It's no problem to change the bearings there, in fact it may still be under warranty? They are small but this ensures there is enough space for a large diameter axle. I think there are at least 2 in that position which makes up for the bearings being smaller than usual.

Rusevelt Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 There are four sets of race and bearings all huddled close together (ie; imagine 2 loose bearing headsets stacked close together) is the best way i can describe how it looks. strange design when you consider the load stresses the bearings have to take. Anyway im sending all the bits to tarty to be examined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
