Whyte 901 2012 front bearings

dirty biker

Hi all I have a white 901 2012 and have not used it for a while. I need new front wheel bearings as there is lots of movement and they sound like they are grinding a bit. I don't know which ones I need tho so if someone could do me the honours I would really appreciate it thanks

Still doesn't help with what type of bearings.

If cup and cone, striping, cleaning, and greasing will sort them out if they're not too far gone.

Sorry I'm not that knowledgeable on them so I don't know.

Post some pictures of the hub.

Looks like it's probably cup and cone, undo the end nut shaped part and see what comes out!

dirty biker

Thanks rookie will do that in a bit and let you know what come out.

dirty biker

That nut was only on hand tight is that ment to be like that?

Looks a bit manky. A thorough clean and degrease followed by some fresh grease and correctly preloaded cones should have them running like new.

dirty biker

Thanks rock shall give it a go.

dirty biker

That has done the trick thanks. Now for those rubbing brake pads aaaggghhhhh

rockmonkeysc

Both pads rubbing or just one side?

dirty biker

Both sides.
