Demetri Posted October 24, 2017 Share Good day. Im busy overhauling my rear wheel. I just got new cone nuts and see they slightly longer (different size but still same in diameter). Im also putting in new ball bearings. My question now is: Is there any reason why i cant use different cone nuts and slightly smaller bearings? Attach is the images. In the bearing cup there was 9 1/4" bearing per side. I test the smaller bearings and see it takes 10 of the smaller ones per side. Any feedback will be highly appreciated.

David Marshall Posted October 24, 2017 Share Stick to the 1/4 inch balls. Keep the OLD the same by changing the spacers between the cone and lock nut. If you change ball sizes they will not run smoothly in the cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
