Front Wheel bearings.
Posted: 04:36 pm Aug 13 2016
Well I decided to put a new front tyre on yesterday, that turned into a head stem bearing and front wheel bearing change also. The local bike shop (only one in 100km that is open on Saturday mornings) didn't have the wheel bearing kit for the H model bike (All Balls part number 25-1444), so I grabbed the kit for an E model front wheel (same size bearings,all balls part number 25-1037 I think). The E model kit doesn't have the outer lip seal for the left side, just 2 x 6202 RSR bearings. I went to another shop and bought the 20-35-8 seal separately for $5. In future I think I'll just go to the bearing shop for front wheel bearings, although I do like to support the local bike shop as he is a small independent.... I'll let you know if I crash less with a free front end lol
