Front axles and bearings.
By: DavidandCarolynne Date: November 11, 2024, 6:30 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi All
We have purchased a set of wheels and tyres from Redcircles.
We have bought front axles from Gemini Karts. The bearings on
the wheels do not fit the axles. This comes as a bit of a
surprise, as we thought they were designed to fit one another.
Have other encountered this, or have Gemini sold us the wrong
axles?
How have others dealt with this issue?
TIA

The bearings and the spacers need replacing with 17mm bearings
and larger spacers, the job can be seen here...

Scroll down to Mareks video, it is not a difficult job and the
bearings are cheap.
