I'm waiting for the rear wheel ones ;)


When I find I have a problem with mine, I will make some... :D

The big issue with the front (internal) spacers is that the external diameter is much smaller than the diameter of the face of the bearing inner race and is then compromised to accept the external spacers...

S1 front wheel bearings replaced.

SKF Bearings cost <£10 posted from here:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/bearingsource?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2754)
and delivered quickly.

Not a big job. Original spacer was showing signs of 'swaging' / compression at both ends. Measured length was 74.3mm i.e. less than the distance between the bearing landings, with the spacer loose within the wheel once the aluminium top hat spacers were removed from the bearings.

Spose I had better do the X1 too at some stage :)
