Warning: Fractured Wheel Bearing - Page 3

I'm going to check my front bearings once again. If I have the correct size in stock, I am going to replace them, also.

Come on, are you going to tell me that you don't dismantle the whole bike, just for the fun, every other weekend?

I'm pleased to report the front wheel employs two, 6302 2RS bearings, and they were in excellent condition.

once again

This is sad, don't even have my bike yet and went ahead and picked the bearings up today while at work. At least I'll have them....

Wonder if the TT uses the same bearings........

5 bearings totaled $22! For piece of mind, sounds good to me!

If I recall correctly, bearings were the only issue with some guy riding through Europe, right?

I think the Silk Road Rider only had problems with his rear wheel, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was only the 6202 bearing causing the problem.

The 6302 bearings are large and robust. The 6004 bearing is serving light duty in the sprocket carrier. As long as these bearings are packed with sufficient grease, I don't think they will cause any problems. However, I received a replacement rear hub from CSC which only had two bearings. I suspect the Silk Road Rider had the same hub, and the weak spot is the single, 6202 bearing in the rear hub. RX3 bikes sold in North America have an upgraded rear hub which contains four bearings, instead of two.

In post 37 you posted the bearing # as 6203. Is one a typo?

Can the bearings be re-greased in place (without removing them from the wheel)?

I made a typographical error in post #39, and I have corrected it. Thanks for letting me know.

Except for the 6004 bearing, all the other bearing numbers end in 02, which indicates an inside diameter of 15 millimeters, the diameter of the axle.

The 6004 bearing of the sprocket carrier has an inside diameter of 20 millimeters, since it contains a bushing which has that outside diameter.

Give it a try; you might be able to do it.

You have nothing to lose by trying.

Can you post a link to the vendor where you purchased your bearings? I'm sure others will appreciate knowing this information.

Fortunately, I purchased a good supply of these bearings several years ago for my first Zongshen motorcycle.
