So the bearing totally fell out, and that wheel was loosely flopping around on just the remaining post. I'm lucky I didn't have a catastrophe.
It's a cheap awful POS part if the wheel bearing inside the spinning part just can fall out. I ordered probably the same cheap POS again, so I expect it to last no more than a few weeks total.. Problem is, none of the ones I have found look any better in quality? Even the "arch" type which cost twice as much, seem to have the same cheap wheel and bearing (from visual clues at least). This really angers me big time, how garbage the part was....
Is there one someone can recommend that won't simply fall apart? I also bought a chain breaker may be big enough to work with my chain, and I may be able to eliminate it, but I can't count on that.
Looks to me like I used to have a bearing held in a C clip that did not hold. I expect it's replacement to be as big a POS or worse, but I don't need my only powered transpo down too long, so I had to let Amazon rip me off no doubt, because the alternative is no riding it.
Does anyone know of a specific one worth getting, that you have actual experience with?
My bike is down until then which sucks cuz I had places to go today. Have to wait till tomorrow for the $12 garbage piece of crap, which will likely only buy me a few more days of riding, if I can't shorten the chain.
