Mtchell Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Hi, So I opened my profile to find the bearings smashed to bits, so i ordered new ones zz instead of 2rs as i,m sure they,ll last longer . they all fit snug and are nice and smooth until i place the wheel back in the bike and every time my right foot gets to about 12 o clock the wheel grinds like theres no tomorrow. I repeated the previous steps to no avail , also when i pedal backwards with the rear wheel in the air the pedals follow as if it was a fix drive. I,ve replaced the bearings before with no issues but there is nothing which is can see is causing the problem please help as i,m really confused now.... I can get a video if this helps Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirt jumper jake Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Probably the infamous driver wobble, mine did this before it died does the driver wobble about at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexxRogers Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Place a spacer on the axle before you put your driver back in, this will stop the grinding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtchell Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Right so alex was right ( cheers bud) , the driver bearing went a again so i,ve order a new set question is How many bearings should they be in the driver 3 or 4? It looks like a outer bearing case is stuck in there but i try to remove it it doesnt budge any help would be great cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
