bearing machining etc help / advise needed
Permalink  
 


well so both of the dts that im building have same issues :D

one with gold wheels has a 35mm x 17 x 10 bearing

silver wheels has a 40x17x12

 

so now what should i do now as there are no bearings avielable that are 32x20x? or 40x20x?

i figured out 4 ways to go with this but im looking to find out which would be lets say cheapest and good to do

there are bearings avialable for both wheels 32x20 or 37x20/42x20 or 37x20

so option 1

get a sleeve machined up with a 35 od and 32 id and drop the smaller bearing in there (got quoted 20 quid per wheel)

option 2

machine out the hubs to take the 2mm os bearings so from 40mm od get it done to 42mm(going to find the price tomorrow) 

option 3

making custom spindles probably the most expensive way and wdnt know how to mesure it all out before i can actually drop it on the swing arm (going to find the price tomorrow)

option 4

relace them into dt hubs but i dont really want to do that

 

 

i think option 2 would be the best as if in the future i would need to replace the bearings i bet that i wnt be able to get the sleeve out and would have to make another one 

let me know what you guys think and maybe you have a good place around london or somewhere i can post to to do a good job at a decent price

not like marine enginerring down the road from me quoted me 50 quid for the sleeves and i would have to get my own materials plus 3 weeks wait

I would just sell the wheels.

How come you can't get bearings for them, seems very strange.

Why didn't you just copy me you toad in the hole! ( c0ckney rhyming slang for crazy pole) :D!!

Make up a sleeve man, it's such a sick idea!

And the reason you can't get bearings made up is because they're an odd size, that nobody makes.

i know checked simply bearings /bearing king and nothing, its like they dont make them, well the gold set aint mine so if the guy wants to pay for the work its up to him. the silver ones are for me and to be honest im just tired of seing every single dtr with excel or saxess wheels, i want something different :D but eventually i would probably paint them black and red hahah
