Does anyone know if you can turn a loose ball bearing hub into a sealed bearing hub?

@KamaarhKenn

Жыл бұрын

You can't. They're both designed differently to work with their respective bearings

wow your awesome i really like your videos one thing i noticed in your hub rebuild videos you never replace the bearings in the cassette hub driver? why is that ?

Those rarely ever go bad. The only tension that gets on them is when you pedal. For the bearings in the hub housings, those are active all the time whether you're coasting, pedaling or just outright beating the heck out of your bike. They pretty much carry the weight of the bike as well as your own while you're riding thus they tend to wear out pretty fast. Plus they're on either side of the hub with a spacer in between thus doesn't distribute load as efficiently as the bearings in the driver which are like 3 or 4 closely packed together

Looks like a salt hub like mine

It probably is. But unfortunately there wasn't any branding on it so it wasn't possible to tell what brand it is

Sick work mate, any chance you know where to find axles like this one to buy online, i have a hub that needs new axle but find it impossible to find any on the internet. Cheers.

Check on AliExpress. You might get lucky. Or alternatively, get another hub as a donor.

It's usually difficult to find similar axles. The concept of the hubs is usually the same, but designs differ slightly from company to company.

can we convert the cassette to LHD?

@KamaarhKenn

Жыл бұрын

It depends. There's hubs designed such that every pawl has an individual spring. And for a number of hubs with that design, you can interchange the position of the pawls and springs to change the direction of the hub. This particular one doesn't have that option though

And the lubricant will be washed off after like 2 washes. Where I'm from it's always dusty regardless of where you go thus bikes get washed more frequently. Paint holds on much longer and better compared to lubricant.
