Default Made it home with this!!!!



Rode it home after I heard a clunk. Never once heard a grinding or high pitch noise, not even when pushing it with engine off. Wheel moved when checking for loose parts and found the bearing failed. Didn't figure it failed this bad though. The hub is ruined but that is it, axle is in great shape as well as other parts. I was very lucky it didn't lock up or do some crazy wobble on the way home.
Guess I will be mounting the night train solid wheel with 200mm tire quicker then I thought.
Ha Ha I wonder if my bike is trying to say something. This riding season alone I had a wire fail to my rear injector and now the rear wheel bearing. Hmmm

Punctuation is the key my friend. LOL I literally had to read that sentence a good 4-5 times to understand it.
