Wheel bairings?
Permalink  
 

Went to the Wirral Egg run today wich is going through towns with over 8000 other bikes and thousands of spectaters to raise money and ****, Drove about 20miles fine then stopped off for a quick brew and cool down and soon as i set off my Wheel bairings collapsed so i couldnt go to the Egg run.

Does anyone elses Bairings just suddenly collapse?

I would of done the run but it was wobbling bad and making loud metal to metal screeching blehfurious

sounds like all the bits are in the right place they must have been real buggered to collapse m8 there easy to replace and pretty cheap just throw in a new set and it should be fine unless its ground into your wheel

where are you based jon the egg run is just down the road from me i was gonna go but due to things going tits up i couldent make it i was gutted

My bike was Fine and got to the B&Q carpark just after the Tunnel. As we set out down the dual carradgeway and around the roundabout my back end went really wobbly. I had my bike on a Dyno on Saturday, got 16.9hp with a loose chain and stock exhaust
