DieselnDust Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 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

ACE Cycles Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Looking for 12mm TA end caps for Roval CL 40 Disc Wheels
Thermophage Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 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 TheoG and MarcHD 2
madmarc Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 They would be expected to retail for about R290 incl. These are Abec-5 level, angular contact, double sealed bearings I just had a WTF! moment
Thermophage Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 I just had a WTF! momentLike back in the 90's when we were skateboarding a LOT and Abec 9 was the best, if you had Abec 3 you were trash

madmarc Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Like back in the 90's when we were skateboarding a LOT and Abec 9 was the best, if you had Abec 3 you were trash Ye I remember my son telling me he needed new bearings for his skateboard - shop wanted 30 ronds each because they were "Black Fly" bearings - went to the bearing shop and got SKF for 2.30 ronds - He refused to use the skateboard after that TheoG and Hairy 2

DieselnDust Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 damned .. imagine if the bearings went in the wrong way and you wheel then only spun backwards This is why I worry about you architects.... Haven't a mechanical bone in your jello bodies.... Sorry big boned bodies Hairy 1

Interested to know what the expected mileage is. At that kind of mileage I'm willing to experiment with generic bearings. R1160 / 4500km = R0.25c per km just in rear hub bearings

Interested to know what the expected mileage is. At that kind of mileage I'm willing to experiment with generic bearings. R1160 / 4500km = R0.25c per km just in rear hub bearings While it's extremely rare for DT bearings to fail in this time span it must also be remembered that the 1900 series wheels are the affordable wheels from DT Swiss for a reason. The tolerances of the seals, while still superior to many of it's peers, will not be the same of that found in the mid and high end range of products (Star Ratchet and Ratchet EXP) which as you have heard are expected to last well over 10,000km Higher tolerances require more time and specialised machinery which cost more to run resulting in high price points for the final products.
