Default Re: Rear wheel bearings - Timken part number

Quote:
I know of people who have used ball bearings but I don't think they will be ideal because the end float of the axle will overload them - they are not a thrust bearing.
Standard ball bearings, 6200 series, are not designed to take side loading, 7200 series (angular contact) ball bearings are designed to take side loading. They might be an option.
