Warning: Fractured Wheel Bearing
Several days ago I replaced the Shinko 244 tire on my rear wheel. I always inspect every part of the wheel every time I remove a wheel, or replace a tire. The rear hub has two bearings, and the bearing near the rear sprocket was completely fractured.
![]() ![]() The bearing on the other side, near the brake rotor, was notchy, and ready to fail. I replaced both Chinese bearings with Japanese bearings, which I had in stock for the original hub of my Zongshen ZS200GY-2. ![]() ![]() The stock bearings have very little grease in them. I packed the new Japanese bearings with extra grease before I installed them. ![]() ![]() I will post photographs of both Chinese bearings tomorrow.
