KR1S Bearing Tube

Like a Fog Bound Pinhead after taking the bearings out the wheels and forgetting about them for months,i don't know which bearing tube is which and I think there is an rgv front one in for good measure

So does anyone know if the front and back spacer tubes are the same width ? and does anyone know the widths

If nobody else can answer this Martin I've got a pair of wheels I need to strip down for powder coat, I can let you know in a day or so.

There are some pictures in this thread here:

No measurements though I'm afraid!

So does that show the front one is the longest ?

No the front is the short stubby fat one. The rear is the long slender one.

The spacer from my Kr1s wheel measures

Length- 72mm
Ex. diameter- 25mm
In. diameter- 22mm

Give or take a few half mm.
And that is assuming it is the original spacer & not been replaced by something else during its life!

Hope this helps HC

Thanks all

Not going too well as it looks like the powdercoaters have blasted the bearing area a bit much on front right and now bearing can be pushed in by hand

Going to try bearing lock but also read up that going around bearing face area with a centre punch

to nip the surface up

You would be better of with bearing fit as the centre punch trick means the bearing is only seated on a few high spots rather than equally supported as it would be with the bearing fit (loctite)

What is an industrial strength bearing fit I could use

I think you can buy small bottles of Loctite bearing fit, you don't need a real high strength one because it just makes it difficult to replace the bearing next time and the residue is a shit to remove without heat

Well sorted the tubes and got the bearings in

The loose bearing has been loctited in with stud and bearing lock,it says on the packet it is for worn bearing housings so fingers crossed.I put a blob of red paint on so will know if it spins in action

Plan B will be a 16mm wide bearing and 4mm off the wheel spacer but the bearing is a double row bearing so would that be o.k. for a wheel bearing ?

None of it is ideal but needs must and all that
