Steve What kind of bearings are you using? What is 'non standard'? In my case they're the hand turck type and come in three different grades. None of them are verry good, but the split wheel rim, tube & tire are. In my nose wheel I'm using a 3/4" tube as the axel so the double tapered bearing has to be able to fit that. I'm checking into what's available here locally for the double tapered roller bearings. I may have to make an adaptor to mount the races into the hub but not sure yet. I've got plenty of room outside of the wheel itslef for the bearings to mount. I would have to shorten the spacers though.

Its new, never used. I pushed them out and they feel good. I tried to buy new ones locally and was told that were non-standard. I would like to replace them with cone bearings also. Will I have to modifi the wheel or can I buy the races that size? Steve Bray Jackson, Tennessee
