Well I got it off e bay it had 3/4 bearings and inter spacer the 3/4 spacer slides into the center hole that is 1" so it looks like 06 duce rim isnt 1" after all unless wrong information was being told about it on his ebay site my 1 inch axle will go thru but of course with my 07 spacer it will have to be slightly bored out. once again thanks for all who replied back. I just want to make sure its going to be safe putting it on.

Good luck! ~Joe |
Did you measure the internal Dia" before you had the chroming done ?
If it's an older deuce wheel the internal spacer won't fit without machining. I've seen these on pre 06 dyna's but don't know how the did it. |
no this wasnt chromed just original I got off e bay its a 17" wheel but it had 3/4 axle in it. Wish it was as easy as knocking out the bearing and replace with 1" but no big deal I bought new bearings and spacer today. Im takeing it up the street tomorrow to this machine shop they have cad machine Ill have it out this weekend. I hate helmets I just wanted to make sure its safe doing all this im tired of replaceing tubes. Once again thanks all for your imput.

Well what an expensive lesson I learned today. The like new rim I bought off ebay is bent. Its not useable, naked eye you cant see it untill its turned on the machine 90 thousands on the rotor side and 60 thounsands on the flip side. It shows a heck of a wable about 6 inches from the valve back. Id say it hit deep chuck hole or something needless to say beware when you by something like this without checking it out first. So back with the spoke rim square one.

I hate to resurrect this thread from the dead, but I am in the same boat. I bought a used Deuce wheel with 3/4" bearings and went to put the 1" bearings in it and figured out the 1" spacer doesn't fit in the hub. Is the spacer a crucial part? The inside of the hub is just a hair larger than 1", so the axle will fit, but it won't have the support in the middle. Is this the purpose of the spacer? Does the axle need contact the entire length? The way I read it, it looks like there were couple guys who just changed bearings. I certainly could have missed something though. Thanks.

You must fit with the inner spacer,
Dont try and fit without it. when you fit the axle, the outer spacer only contacts the small dia part of the bearing and without the inner spacer theres nothing to tighten up against. |
The wheel is machined with 2" diameter pockets for the bearings that are only as wide as the bearing that allows them to be pressed in without going too far. The hole for the axle is slightly larger than 1" allowing the axle to pass through. I can bolt it up and tighten it no problem. But, is the axle spacer's only job to keep the bearings seperated and allow the axle to be tightened, or does it have a load bearing role as well when it come to the axle?

tighten up without inner spacer ?
all you have done is put side load on the bearings, DO NOT USE, will fail very very soon !!! |
