hey so, I'm a heavy equipment mechanic and one trick to get bearings to go in is to throw 'em in the freezer for few hours. when you take them out install them promptly before they have a chance to warm back up to room temp. maybe even heat the bb a bit but NOT with a torch!
@@Fax_my_pants a rubber mallet can’t knock bearings in. The hammer works fine it’s just a little risky. As long as you tap it evenly around the outer part of the bearing it doesn’t damage anything.
A threaded rod a couple bit washers and two nuts you could make a squeeze press to install those bearing without hammering them or harbor fight make a tool that goes over them bearing so you wont chew of the bearing hammering it in.
I just ended up with a rhd hub, and since my sprocket is guarded, and doesn’t hit the ledge, it’s fine. Also, I don’t want to pay $360 for a new hub when mine is perfectly fine.
@memba berryare you grinding on the same side as your drivetrain? If so than I recommend hub guards as you will be damaging your chain/driver. If you only intend to grind on the non drive side, there not absolutely necessary but I do still highly recommend them.
Bro no utilices martillo de metal para meter los rodamientos se te pueden aboyar y no te van a servir más yo recomiendo un martillo de goma aunque sea y si no tienes coloca un trapo en el rodamiento y con algo ve pegando al rodamiento para que amortigüe el golpe saludos desde León gto
Este man es una pelota completa como se le va a ocurrir usar un martillo metálico para los rodamientos del centro Aparte de eso es una bicicleta muy hermosa
I’m running the 8 spline because it’s the only chrome crank I have, and I’m not really thrashing my bike. I do have 48 spline cranks, Èclat tibia/odyssey calibur. They just need paint, and it’s snowing rn
