nb88 Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 I ordered some profile hub bearings for the driver (2, i already have 2 of them). They havent arrived yet and i really wanna ride this weekend....so do you think it'd be alright to run only 2 bearing cartridges in the driver rather than 4? The bearings were sent about 3 days ago and havent arrived because of royal snail mail :blink: so it may be a while till i get them.... but do you think itd be alright to do it temporarily? Cheers, Noz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nb88 Posted January 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Cheers all. I put it on with 2 bearings - one on either side of the driver, on the inside. It doesnt look like itll stress the axle too much, as its supported a lot by the bearinfs and washer already in inside. I'll ride it tonight and see how it goes, and i just wont do any drops etc. It feels AWESOME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
