I would like to replace the bearings in my Sensation mini bike. The rims take flanged bearings, 1 3/8" x 5/8" x 7/16". Overall diameter is 1 1/2" including the flange.
It looks like there is nothing inside the rim to hold the bearing in place, so the bearing needs a flange.
I cannot find sealed flanged bearings anywhere, including VXB, except for one called "unground" and another for lawn mowers.
I found a few sources for 3/4" but that means replacing the axles and drilling the frame holes larger.
Does anyone know where I can find these? The existing ones were made by General Bearing, but they have no number on them. They seem like good quality but are gritty now. I cleaned them in mineral spirits but they are not any better and I probably dissolved what lube was left inside.
