This could've been bad.

So the other day I removed my rear wheel to clean everything up and just do general maintenance, and I found this...

Im glad that I caught this. I definitely don't want a bearing to fail on me while riding down the road.

Doh! Nothing that a little shot of Gibbs can't fix! On second thought...... :doah:

I bought a bc1300 bonanza I pulled the Go Power wheels and all 4 of the bearings sized and been run long enough the the bores were about 1/8" to big so I had to sleeve then Ken

yeah, I definitely don't want a wheel locking up on me while going down the road.

I've had a jackshaft bearing go out while trail riding (we were going pretty fast) and bent the crap out the 5/8 shaft. Looked like an old tree branch

You might think about shortening up those maintenance intervals. :laugh:

Looks to me like the failure has already occurred. You just didn't find it the hard way. That said, thanks for the very graphic reminder.

I gotta change bearings on a db30 looks like rears need changed every 1st or 2nd tire change long as you got rim off..they're cheap:thumbsup:

Almost looks like those things have been sitting in water for a while or got wet and was never dried off. I wonder if a thin coat of anti seize would help to prevent the rust?

.....so who makes a good bearing? Seems now a days they are not what they used to be...

"China" bearings are cheap, poor quality however the clearances between shaft and roller, rim and roller seem not be as requested. I have the same issue in my Super Bronc, ...
