Into Sailing, classic Triumph cars and motorbikes.
Seems I've made a stupid mistake / schoolboy error with my 360 rebuild.....
Replaced the wheel bearings front and rear and the bike is all back together and passes it's mot.
Looking at the rear wheel there seem to be some aluminium filings so I check more closely and the rear axle is floating about with a couple of my of lateral movement in the left side bearing. Filings are from the bearing carrier.
Wheel off and check, right bearing is a nice fit but left is 20mm ID, when the axle is 17......
First I blame the supplier of the new bearings..... Then I find the spec is 20mm ID and there should be a spacer thingy...... Which I'm guessing I threw out last week with the old bearings
So.... Does anyone have a source for these spacers?
Alternatively I could probably source a bearing that would fit, and rebuild the hub again??
Can't believe I cleared out all the 'old redundant stuff' and threw out something I needed!!
Help gratefully received
