Remove bearings from Mag Wheel?

[Freddy Snottgrass]

I think I will make it work. Actually, the wheel this is going to fix the bent axle on, kind of sat off to the right a bit. this might overcome that.

Yes the 6000 bearings fit on it.

OH man... I am going through the SAME THING!!! lmao. I searched high and low to find what I thought would be the perfect replacement axle. Then WTF... this one is offset. I am sure I can make it work, I just didn't want any more PROBLEMS.View attachment 165656

The stepped front axle they sent me the first time which is what I want to use so the bearings are easy to knock out next time is a bit shorter than the straight axle with crush tube I took out. I put it on the gas bike fork and it leaves just enough room for the retainer clip washers and the nuts to clear the end of the axle... But eventually I am going to use these wheels on the cruiser I have waiting to build and that fork at least is much narrower than the gas bike fork.

Is the step the same as the old crush sleeve that was in there? The inner race and the step should have the same measurement.

Yes they are the same diameter and the exact same length as the center of the stepped axle.

The large ones don't fit... the shaft diameter is correct, but not the mounting diameter.

Were the bearings that came off not 6000 series?

These mag wheels, I mainly get so I can mount the drive sprocket to the hub. I think next time, I am just gonna get a decent disc brake wheelset from the bike shop and have replacement parts easily obtainable.
