Go with these, they’re bulletproof:
I have two sets of the Chinese bearing. The innermost ring sits loose on all of them after a little time and makes the wheel rocking.
Took your advice Shipping was fast
About $16 right? Wait till you see how much dirt they’ll keep out!
Yeah $16, cant wait to see if there that good.
They WILL seep some of their grease out while they’re breaking in. After some initial tidying up, they have been maintenance free for weeks. I’m saying, best deal I’ve found
Arbor press, the only way to fly
Thanks 10 char
Check that seal to make sure it’s not displaced!! Only want pressure on the outer ring of the bearings!
I messed it up Ik that but i’ve got 9 more.
That’s what’s great about the 10pk!! I use the axle bolt to get it gently started, and the back of a 14mm socket (for socket wrenches lol) to get it closer and pull it the rest of the way with the bolt again. This is because I don’t have an arbor press
Hey guys - just did a stupid thing. When trying to fit the @lrdesigns adaptor, i endup striping the axel screw + hanger screw. Totally my fault, i should have used another way to corretly fit the adaptor.
Now - to fix this i will buy new shoulders. Thanks @brenternet for sending the aliexpress link.
The only missing issue is the hanger inner screw - It seems that the screw isn’t done directly on the aluminium hanger…i think there’s an inner screw cap (something like the below). Anyone had to change this already?…or i will be the first to try
On man… not sure if anyone has managed to put a thread insert in there? @Sender @mmaner
The grub screw in the hanger needs to come out or thread damage can ensue, but it looks like we’re past that already. The bolt are hardened steel, I’d be surprised if they are damaged, is that picture not just the inner thread of the hanger?
Be gentle!
yeap! removed the grub screw before installing it.
it seems the inner thread and the shoulder were damaged. Hard to see whats inside the hanger, but it seems a helicoil type of screw, just saw on another thread. It seems pretty hard to replace.
Same thing happened to me. surprisingly surfrodz was really cool about exchanging my hanger without asking questions.

Honestly? Throw the hanger away and start again. Like @Skunk said, get a replacement from SR. I wouldn’t ride that if you paid me. Those threads are the only thing keeping you from catastrophic failure.
And soak that bolt in some lye - the aluminum will come right off those threads.
Yeah, its helicoil. I actually found some ribbed inserts that I think will work well but I cant find a part number and the vendor does not sell them anymore. You need a hydraulic press to fit them. I doubt Im gonna use them, if SR cant help you out let me know and I’ll send you a couple.
I sent my extra hanger to @mikenyc maybe he got a replacement for his damaged hanger by now and can help ya out?
