If you do the proper maintenance on the wheel bearings, loose bearings and races can work very well. Sealed bearings just have thin caps on them to keep the grease contained, but they can age as well.

I've packed and repacked. Cups are shot and figured I'd upgrade, but I've got no lathe. Who can do this? Anybody?

I've heard Motomatic does sealed bearing conversions.

MOTOMATIC!!!

In case you decide to convert the rear wheel uses radial BB's the front conical BB's no exception.

No, they look different, are those the motomatic ones?

Cup and cone bearings rock, for one reason: you can service them.

Just think about the tools you use to work on the two types of bearings. Cup and cone bearings can be maintained for years using two wrenches and some grease. Sealed bearings are "serviced" with a bearing puller - pulled and replaced.

Sure, buy the conversion kit and some tasty piece of mind - especially if your cups are shot. Remember, though, that cup and cone bearings are a Very Good Thing - they're what keep your ped on the road until you save up for new parts.

Alright who can hook me up with Motomatic?
