Wait a minute...

1st time measuring Front Wheel Primary Bearing Side





2nd Time ?...Quite a difference






Is this the other side of the Front wheel? It's shallower than the Primary side?

I haven't seen those New "B" bearings yet

Does the Shield/Seal rotate with the inner race (like below) or the other way around?

guess it's good that the fatbob axle was bent... it's bigger than the 41628-08 used by the midglides.... worked out...

same length as the wideglide's axle



and what is on that axle? why does it need a cancer warning written on it?

installed stems.....



soapy water, stems, and puller super tool thing



soapification



really as easy as sticking the tip of the stem through the hole and pulling it through with the puller.



.....



.....



rear was slightly harder due to the position of the spokes



needed more soapy water
