KOP Wheels and Bearings

[mama_tree]

The bearings supplied with the chassis kit do not fit flush in the wheels. Do any teams have a reccommendation for a fix? (ie. size of bearing to order or whether this is a non issue)

[MrForbes]

It should not be an issue if the bearing sticks out of the wheel a little bit.

[mama_tree]

Yeah, we just noticed that the wheel sprockets have a much larger hole than last year's. Only thing is the axle spacers may need trimming.

[MrForbes]

We didn't have to trim anything, it all went together just fine. One thing that did cause a slight problem was not seating the bearings all the way, if you don't, then they'll be crooked and the axle won't go thru easily. Easy to fix, just push harder on the wheel (when it's laying on the work bench) to force the bearings in as far as they can go.
