  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Pivot works has a kit: http://www.pivotworks.com/ProductInfo.aspx?item_id=4749
And single bearings listed: http://www.pivotworks.com/ProductInfo.aspx?item_id=51883
Not sure about availability yet on those.

Hall's has OEM bearings in stock and Bill's has an All Balls kit. And now I find the OEM bearings online as a frame part, not a fork part where the stearing stem, seals and washers are :banghead:
 
Take care with pivot works.

The dimension indicated are 29 x 50! Not sure if they fit...

Better call them before to confirm.

...just re grease my steering bearings.

Both upper and lower bearings tilt slightly. It's a sign that the seat is not circular.
I'll order new bearings and increase slightly the inner diameter of the seat, to glue them without constrain.

Press-fit seems to be not adapted to tapered roller bearings because the outer ring is so weak.

By the way, the OD indicated in the part lists is wrong. Not 48 mm but 50,29 mm.
id = 29 mm and height = 17,52 mm.

I tried an all balls kit and the outer race seemed to have a sharp edge that was starting to shave material out of the bore when going in. I ended up using SKF BR6 or BR8 that was in stock at work and had no trouble with them. Just something to keep an eye on
 
For your information, in Europe, the BT1B 329013 A/Q SFK - bearing is available by the local SKF dealer.

...just had an allballs inner ring (with the taper rollers) and the SKF inner ring in the hand.

I would advise to take the SKF.

I can take some pictures if wished. Unfortunately, I don't have outer rings.
