Kuys Posted January 28, 2021 Share I thought the talk of Chinese tools on the DT thread was obvious but as you were As long as MarcHD has a very thick skin, a good sense of humour and high emotional intelligence I reckon its all good ;-) Hairy, DieselnDust and MarcHD 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted January 28, 2021 Share Hairy, have a look on Cogent industries website, they have SKF ABEC5 bearings for similar prices to rapide iirc, worth a lookThanks for the lead, and this is encouraging MarcHD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted January 28, 2021 Share As long as MarcHD has a very thick skin, a good sense of humour and high emotional intelligence I reckon its all good ;-)Personally I really appreciate his assistance he has given me and others here. He also keeps things factual and let's you make the final call. I know the enduro bearings I previously looked at are not the same as per his DT one's, but I can just not motivate to spend that amount of cash on the bearings at this point in time vs a medium term solution with the enduro's and possibly a longer term solution with the SKF's. What he has done though is make me a future DT customer again with his advice and support. TheoG and MarcHD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted January 28, 2021 Share Hairy deep groove bearings do accomodate axial loads but not as well as angular contact bearings. It's the difference between 12500km of service vs 5000 km of service.I'm sure the skf will serve you well enough but there also angular contact options from NTN, SKF, FAG and other reputable brands. DT Swiss doesn't manufacture bearings but I think you will find that the angular contact bearing they specify is going to be a pricey item from all manufacturers for good reason. The main advantage for you going with deep groove bearings is that you can't install them the wrong way around... LOL Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermophage Posted January 28, 2021 Share The drum ring is alloy and the tool is steel. Steel is stronger than alloy and that's all what matters.My pals wont let me touch their bikes other than the brakes because the rest of their bikes will be blessed with a chisel and a hammer.Steel is an alloy...i believe you mean aluminium alloy. Soz, just got meself a DT Swiss hub, so now i should be part of this convo as well MarcHD and TheoG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
