Taper bearings

(1/5) > >>

Sesman:
Has anybody used the taper head bearings from DS?. The QMP product includes a spacer, but no instructions. I presume the spacer is used on the lower yoke, under the bearing, but do I also need to use a seal of any kind which is not included in the kit.

I’ve trawled the site, but there doesn’t appear to be any definitive guidance on this specific topic.

If anybody could help I’d be grateful.

Cheers.

Sesman:
No seal apparently..hay ho. :-\

Bryanj:
Check the thickness of the washer, if its more than 1mm you will be short of threads for the top nut

Sesman:
Wow. 1mm depth will render me short of threads? Why is there a spacer at all. I’m missing something here?

Thanks for the reply by way.

Bryanj:
Without a spacer the bottom yoke rubs on the frame before the bearing inner and outer engage properly.
The taper bearings are taller than the ball races which causes the problem
