NS - sealed bearing advice needed

<< < (3/5) > >>

harris:
have you tried to shim it out.

chi11i:
no - would need super thin shims. would you suggest trying 'behind' bearing? as in pop bearing out, insert shim, replace bearing?

harris:
its easy for me as i dabble in fiddly things like this but behind the bearing would be better keeps the face flush
i run king axles and they float  no problems with them

chi11i:
ta - how do you mean 'float' - as in the hub shell/bearing interface has some intended play?

Voodoocars:
Those hooked washers are a good idea in my opinion.I heard a lad at creation had his front wheel come off and he has broken his back.Maybe someone fookin' around with spanners...
I had a bit of play in my front hub after about 4 months riding.Took it apart and gently tapped the bearings back against the hub seating,put it together and put new thin shim washers between the hub nuts (they are what wear  and cause the symptoms).Nipped up the nuts and job done.
