Which reminds me TB I know when you did my bike I noticed Wolfmans on the King Kenny could do with the anvil treatment.

Yeah it was only tweaked James a shifter fixed it quick smart. From experience they can when bent right be a prick of a thing, I have replaced two in the last 65 thousand Tenere kms :pinch:

As for seal sizes etc try your local dealer or Tekniks sell them. You cant measure your old ones?

There is a part 2 to the above video, I will see if I can upload it raw

Thanks for the feedback Dave. We learnt early in the process that the remaining retaining sleeve material couldn’t handle having a bearing hit hard against it or pressed together without extra care. It’s fine on the bike because there is no load against it at all. If you hit the bearing hard when fitting the bearings you will crack it, we have found out the hard way. The one in the video hasn’t had a problem after 7 thousand kms, which leaves me wondering why yours failed on its first ride since the modifcation. My one in the white bike cracked because the guy that assembled it (used to work for Nick) pressed the bearing in and cracked the retaining sleeve. The hub has been resleeved since (Metal sleeve) and returned to service on my bike. It did some 7k before the crack we saw on assembly actually broke away. No damage to anything else as I found it sitting out about 15mm and nursed it to town.
The others done like Wolfmans King Kenny Jnr etc have never caused a problem and his has done maybe 5 or 6 thousand since the mod was preformed and when I changed the tyres recently inspected the hub and the retaining sleeve all was fine no problems. Again I have to stress there is no thrust or pressure on the sleeve once assembled and care needs to be taken when seating the bearing. The mod we are doing has been done on 660Rs in NZ for ages with a tour company and there hasn’t been a reported failure yet but I will watch with interest now.
I must admit even in the excitement of racing with your mate I am shocked you didn’t feel or hear it as it has caused some damage.
If you are stuck for a hub give me a yell pls I have two I could frieght and loan if required champ.
