wheel bearings and chain

#1 Post by joecrx » Sat Feb 16, 2013 10:52 am

im going to powder coat my wheels not sure what colour yet do you think silver will look good on a fire red bike ?,

so im looking for front and rear bearings and dust seals ,i see some on flea bay, but not sure of the quality ,
any recomendations , at a fair price ,

im also going to treat the bird to a new chain and sprocket, but read some one on here that the back sprocket was out of line and required a spacer or somthing , again any recomendations , for a strait standard swap ,

cheers

Wherever possible I try and get genuine Koyo bearings. Read off the bearing code from your old bearings and order the same. Wheel bearings will always be 6xxx-2RS-C3 tpe. 2RS means 2 rubber seals (i.e. both sides) and C3 is the clearance you want for wheel bearings.

I used supersprox for the rear sprocket on mine, all seems to sit in line. Alu inner ring for looks and weight and steel outer ring for wear. Best of both :smt001 gold DID chain for the....eh chain :smt001 no idea about bearings
I sometimes wonder how blue wheels would look, mines the same colour as yours.

Dont bother with suspect kit off Eblag,
Have a look at Wemoto, often few choices on stuff price wise, good choice of sprocket sizes too
Reckon silver will look shit hot with fire red :smt002
