tires and tubes right. Just double checking. Might be in for two sets
tires and tubes yes.
Signed up for 2 sets. Heard positive things on this tires. Looking forward to trying them out.
I’m in for two sets. Hopefully he doesn’t try to price gouge you on the shipping and handling
What hubs are you guys using these on? Anything budget work on 8mm axles?
Trampa superstars will werkkkkk… or metro hubs obvi … or megastars or uhh 3ds hubs. Any I wanna 3.75in hub should work
Superstars like @ahrav said or mbs are probably 2 most common options. Use some 638 bearings to make it work (need extended axles)
Any better source for the bearings then this?
https://www.amazon.com/XiKe-Pre-Lubricated-Performance-Effective-Bearings/dp/B085MX5FX9/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=638-2RS+8x28x9&qid=1596431998&rnid=19346684011&sr=8-8
It might be cheaper here
And I think these work too not sure which is better tbh
Or for that matter what is the best for this situation… curious as well
IDK I just got these
Figured quality doesn’t matter as much since they’re already so much bigger than 608 bearings. Doing good for couple hundred miles
I myself wouldn’t use ZZ bearings for wheels…
and bigger bearings are better than small bearings with a shim
Okay cool, I think it’s the same type as the Amazon one, I’ll try these if Amazon runs out I guess?
Thankz for MoAR wisdom… if I see any ZZ bearings in my possession they shall be reduced to paper weights
I’m still fiddy-fiddy on accessible motor bearings ZZ vs. RS
a ZZ bearing will more easily accept additional lube if you don’t flush dirt and shit in the bearings when you lube them…
What would you fill a 2RS with? I’ve been sold WD-40 is the wrong answer
Edit: also KY jelly, apparently that’s wrong too
Ima guess uhhh bearing oil but I wouldn’t take me serious cuz I’m a guin…
WD-40 displaces the existing lube
on an RS bearing you should pop up the seal… this is particularly difficult on some motor/bearing combos
a ZZ bearing (shielded) will allow i highly viscous wicking lube in…
I use a motorcycle chain lube made for O-ring chains, the propellant allows penetration, but once that has evaporated you have a long-lasting durable, non-fling lube left in the bearing
put WD or sewing machine oil and it will all be spun out pretty quickly
I don’t trust me enufff not to fukkk it to high hell n bak
Stickin to 2RS…
Tis very specific
ok how about light-weight-machine-oil
I’m old… I’ve tried everything
