Number1stunner Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Ok people so I was in need of a fresh set of bearings because after traveling 5000 miles (ish) mine decided to start rumbling. Il report back if I made the right choice but for now I'm loving them and only wish I changed them earlier. I could be wrong but they seem right what do you lot recommend? What are your thoughts shall I never to the rubber versions?.... Edited March 17, 2022 by Number1stunner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planemo Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Alright chap Personally I would have stuck with a rubber sealed bearing as they will always be better for dirt prevention. RPM isn't an issue for EUC use as a 19" wheel at 55mph only does about 1000rpm (caveat being my rusty maths tho), and I think rubber sealed bearings are usually good to at least 10k rpm. My preference for bearings is generally SKF, a low friction seal type with deep groove (to assist with axial loadings) are around £9 each. 6004-2RSL SKF Low Friction Sealed Deep Groove Ball Bearing 20x42x12mm SKF Deep Groove Ball Bearings - Bearing King (bearing-king.co.uk) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
