Common questions
What is the function of a crush tube with tapered bearings?
With tapered bearings, a crush tube maintains the correct distance between the bearings, ensuring they are properly seated and aligned on the axle. This prevents excessive preload or looseness, which can lead to premature wear or instability.
Is this crush tube compatible with all V-twin wheels?
No, this crush tube is specifically designed for Harddrive spoke wheels that utilize 3/4" tapered bearings. It's crucial to confirm your wheel's bearing type and size to ensure proper fitment.
Do I need to replace my crush tube every time I service my bearings?
While crush tubes do not typically wear out like bearings, it's good practice to inspect them for damage or corrosion during bearing service. If compromised, replacement is recommended to maintain proper wheel function.
