Blind bearing pullers, initially created to remove bearings from rotating equipment without rear access, have been popularized for removing wheel bearings. Despite their increased use, these tools can inflict unnoticed damage on wheels. Primarily deployed in automotive and machinery maintenance, blind bearing pullers slide through the bearing, expand behind it, and retract, exerting a steady force without damaging surrounding areas. However, concerns arise when these tools are used without considering potential damage to internal preload spacers, causing potential legal repercussions for negligent installation in professional settings.
Off Subject here. I’m trying to convert a Bontrager front disk wheel over from a quick release to a 15 mm through axle. The bearing that is presently in there is a unsealed roller that has an external rubber seal on the quick release axle. The bearing bed measures to 24.75. (I have to eyeball this with a Vernier) Is there a bearing that fits this and has the proper clearance for a 15 mm through axle?
Bought a Scott scale 900 RC worldcup N1no colours hardtail model 2019. The pressfit SRAM Eagle dub bearings in the BB do not run smooth. I want to change the bearings but cannot find how. Which Hambini bearings can I use for racing and how do I handle the plastic cap that covers the bearings without risk of destroying it.
