I just received these hubs that I bought off ebay(from someone on this board to remain nameless for now) and there appears to be a substantial wear area on one of the bearing surfaces. I can't believe this would be a "normal" thing, has anyone seen one like this?? The worn area is .020 smaller in diameter than the non worn area. The add stated they were in "LIKE NEW condition".??? It's actually kinda strange cause if it spun a bearing I would think the wear area would be the width of a bearing race. It almost looks like someone machined it to hide damage,
I believe these are unusable, unless someone can convince me otherwise. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Attached File(s) |

(after sandblasting them) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Actually I don't think there's anything wrong with the groove being there, as long as the hub slides into the bearing with a little resistance. Any machining to that surface will render them totally unusable and you will know it right away during installation. |
