Replacement sealed bearings... for Wellgo sealed axles.. (e.g. 24 Butterflies, Mags)
Hey, i've been getting sick of my Primos slipping out on me whenever I'm doing trials, so I am looking into borrowing a pair of NS Leg Eater pedals, which are damn grippy. But, there is one hickup... the left pedal of that pair suffers from the common 24 butterfly problem, where the bearing seems to commit suicide and immense amounts of wobble start happening, and then the body falls off the axle... Does anyone know where to replacement sealed bearings for these? I know that all of these pedals' spindles are all made by Wellgo: Try-All Magnesium, 24 Butterfly, NS Leg Eater, Gusset SlimJim, and more... So, would anyone know where to buy them directly? Could UDC (UK) possibly get some in? I'll have to ask Roger later, but yeah, is there no other quick-fix that'll do the job temporarily? Any help'd be good, Thanks. -- Sponge MSN: feel free to add  *"Bikes are made to do trials, unis aren't."- Joe Hodges* *'TRITON SPONGE' (http://tinyurl.com/2r7jk6)* -Titanium frames, available in 19", 24", 26", 29", 36"- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponge's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11883 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65234 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Try 'these' (http://www.danscomp.com/465197.php?cat=PARTS) maybe? They look grippy and never hear anything bad about them. -- The UniSLAB ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The UniSLAB's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15258 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65234 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Replacement sealed bearings... for Wellgo sealed axles.. (e.g. 24 Butterflies, Mags)
No, that's not the point mate, I don't want to buy new pedals, I simply want to get replacement bearings... that's the whole point of this topic. NS Leg Eaters are amazing, and I'd rather repair a set with new bearings than buy a whole new pair of pedals. But, those Drive pedals do look OK, i've seen 'em before, but meh, they all have the same ****ty axles made by Wellgo... ergh.  -- Sponge MSN: feel free to add *"Bikes are made to do trials, unis aren't."- Joe Hodges* *'TRITON SPONGE' (http://tinyurl.com/2r7jk6)* -Titanium frames, available in 19", 24", 26", 29", 36"- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponge's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11883 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65234 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

My bad. Sorry I don't really know where to get different bearings. I'm sure if you get the size you could just google it or something. But maybe not, I'm just guessing. -- The UniSLAB ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The UniSLAB's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15258 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65234 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

No worries mate, I'm really also wondering where that website was that had all the Wellgo models listed... it was like some sort of official site for Wellgo pedals, but it is -damn hard- to find on google. -- Sponge MSN: feel free to add *"Bikes are made to do trials, unis aren't."- Joe Hodges* *'TRITON SPONGE' (http://tinyurl.com/2r7jk6)* -Titanium frames, available in 19", 24", 26", 29", 36"- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponge's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11883 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65234 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

The bearing size used in the Wellgo pedals I have a 13mm OD, 6mm ID, 5mm wide The bearing number is 686-ZZ (ZZ means metal shields on both sides of the bearing). 686-2RS would be two rubber shields. You can find rolls of 10 of those bearings on eBay. For example 'this auction' (http://tinyurl.com/yo6n3g). I would suspect you should be able to find a similar auction in the UK or EU. -- john_childs john_childs (att) hotmail (dott) com Team Never Wash Your Muni 'My Gallery' (http://tinyurl.com/3d57bn) :: 'Unicycling Bookmark List' (http://backcountry.unicyclist.com/) :: 'World Clock' (http://tinyurl.com/2blym3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ john_childs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/449 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65234 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Ah thanks John, that's awesome! Do you know if Wellgo keep the same style of bearing on all of their sealed pedals? [image: http://www.bike-mailorder.de/shop/im...es/5654_0.jpg] These are the pedals I'm borrowing off a friend, it's just his left pedal that has fallen off the axle, well, we are -assuming- that the axle is a Wellgo one because no other sealed axles fail so catastrophically and they look similar to Butterfly's axles too... -- Sponge MSN: feel free to add *"Bikes are made to do trials, unis aren't."- Joe Hodges* *'TRITON SPONGE' (http://tinyurl.com/2r7jk6)* -Titanium frames, available in 19", 24", 26", 29", 36"- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponge's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11883 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65234 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

excellent, I'll have my Primo Balance and Gusset Slimjims to steal bearings off then... hope it works... Well, do you find that replacing the bearing does the trick? Does anything else need replacing like bushings maybe? -- Sponge MSN: feel free to add *"Bikes are made to do trials, unis aren't."- Joe Hodges* *'TRITON SPONGE' (http://tinyurl.com/2r7jk6)* -Titanium frames, available in 19", 24", 26", 29", 36"- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponge's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11883 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65234 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Does anything else need replacing like bushings maybe? Grease for the bushings is helpful. Depending on the pedal design you may also find that replacing the o-ring seal can also stop some play in the pedal. You can find generic general purpose rubber o-rings at well stocked hardware stores (at least in the US). You'll have to experiment with finding the right size. Buy several in sizes that look about right and see what size works best. -- john_childs john_childs (att) hotmail (dott) com Team Never Wash Your Muni 'My Gallery' (http://tinyurl.com/3d57bn) :: 'Unicycling Bookmark List' (http://backcountry.unicyclist.com/) :: 'World Clock' (http://tinyurl.com/2blym3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ john_childs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/449 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65234 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com
