expat_boy Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I recently bought a gas gas 200 year 2000 model and took the rear wheel bearings out as they were seized solid to the wheel spacers. When i put the identical new beasrings back into the hub there was no space for the seals. I cant remember if i took seals off or not when i removed the wheel but dont think i did. There are seals that comne with the bearings but they are far to big. The front wheel doesnt have seals either.... This is my first trials bike so sorry for the newbie questions!! cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guys Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Normally the bearings have seals built in like this one: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bilks Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I agree there are not any separate seals for your bike,should be as in picture,built into the bearings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expat_boy Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 with motocross wheels they have sealed bearings like trials bikes and the picture above but have a rubber dust seal you put on afterwards to stop dirt getting in. he gas gas obviously doesnt have them i can presume then..... strange as they were in the pack with the bearings. cheers anyway.

tltel Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Hi I think some of the later bikes have additional seals, they will not fit your bike. TLTEL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this happen to be an All Balls bearing kit? I had such a kit for my steering head with extra seals for other brands of bikes which were useless to me...

zippy Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Sounds like a bearing "Kit" that has all the bits for multiple bikes. and some bits are not needed on some of the bikes listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie chitlins Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Many bearings are under-greased. It wouldn't hurt to peel the rubber seal out (from the inside!) and stuff some more grease in there if necessary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guys Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Here's how to: Some remarks: - don't over do it with the amount of grease, the exces grease will find it's way out and maybe contaminate your brake disc. - Use special water resistant grease: MX shops and mountainbike shops normaly have some - Be VERY carefull when you pry out the seal as not to damage it. - And, as stated by Charlie, make sure the side of the bearing where you have removed and re-installed the seal, is on the inside of the hub. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
