Alright, call the cat Broke. "I woke up f**king broke"

Thanks Copemech, I'm not concerned about the bearings so much as the axle, I have since spoken to a machine shop who also think a 15mm axle would be strong enough, as long as it was quality steel. The 20mm option is more for using an alloy axle, but would require widening the slot on the swinging arm, which may be just moving the problem somewhere else. Ross

Thanks for that, anybody else got any thoughts ?

Leave him ALONE, he my be aurally impaired.

A bloke walks into a Scottish library and says to the prim librarian: 'Excuse me Miss, dey ye hiv ony books on suicide?' To which she stops doing her tasks, looks at him over the top of her glasses and says, 'F*** off, ye'll no bring it back!'

I refer you to my recent reply "Kenny the Rooster"

When Bob was asked if her preferred Legs or Breast he said that he had a particular fondness for shaven f*nnies. He was then informed that this was not an option when choosing the KFC bargain bucket!

Hi all I'm in the process of building new wheels and my dilema is axle diameter. The hubs dictate that I can use either a 20mm dia axle or 15mm dia axle, (bearing size 6004 2rs or 6302 2rs). I'm quite happy to run with a 15 mm axle in the front, but not so sure about the back. When the axle is turned up for the rear I won't have a spacer, just increase the dia to approx 23mm x 100mm between the bearings (ie a stepped axle) I would rather go for a 15mm axle, and am looking for re-assurance that it would be strong enough. Its for a B40 and I am approx 13 stone in weight. (I will have conventional spacer between the bearing in the front.) Ross

We know what soap is, its just offy expensive, yeah ken.

Yeah, would have been better with wisdom.

Most of these treatments work best when your boots are still damp, stuff them with paper, treatment on, leave and the treatment is drawn through. Job done. ( for this week anyway)

You remind me of my brother, when he was three, thirteen, twenty three etc etc

If you ever pick out the rubber seal on a new bearing you will be shocked at the tiny amount of grease in there, probably worth adding some.

Spelling was never my strong point !

200 miles closer to me than London, got my vote.

There are lots of deprived areas desperate for investment outside London, take your pick.

The moral of this sorry tale is not to buy anything untill it has been on the market for a while and all the teething problems are sorted / known about.

Funny the British Olimpic games are in London, right in the centre of the country for easy access to all citizens.
