So... the pulley side bearings on my '99X1 have wallered out their seats. What's the sheap way to fix this? The right way? Without replacing the wheel? Here's a pic: | ||

No cheap way out. You're faced with machine work to take a bearing with a larger OD and the stock ID and trying to find said bearing you'll have to make sure it's the same thickness as stock. A good used wheel would be the easiest and cheapest. | ||

Machine it to bigger diameter and sleeve it to fit a new bearing. | ||

Has anybody heard of or used Belzona? | ||

The thing with gluing or putting a bearing in with some sort of cement you never get the bearing centered 100% | ||

Many years ago someone reported here using a beer can in there ...to get home. Should work! | ||

I know it's easy for me to say because it is not my wheel. Easy-E said it best, "throw it in the gutter an go buy another". |
