Big Sale Is On - UPDATED 03-26-26

The Big Sale is on but not like originally planned, it is a by appointment type of thing now. Be sure to call before you come to make sure the day isn't already full with peeps scheduled to come in, and make sure what you want is still available.

Worn Spindles was created by GT 14
The underside of my front wheel spindles are grooved from neglected bearings. One solution I was considering was to sleeve them and use oversize bearings.

Ideas please.

Yes I did, had read your post and liked the idea but figured sleeve and oversize bearings would be allot cheaper. Still thinking about it tho, was the surplus store where you got the hubs online?

I would weld up the grove and grind it off to repair the spindle. :)

That's the nastiest mess I've ever seen GT. The inner bearing surface looks ok, all you would have to fix is that deeper groove and where the bearing sits on the outside. :)

That one's as mangled as any I've seen GT. Think I'd find a used one or cut that one off and weld on a new spindle stub. :cents1
