I was riding home from work and heard a loud noise, over the radio, that I was listening, wile riding. The noise came from the front of the scoot. When I brought the scoot, it had those same, 10" alloy wheels on. I have been riding this scoot a while now and the odometer is building up fast the total ride distance. I think, the wheel bearings might be done. I believe I need new rear wheel too. There is weird vibration and the wheel does figure of 8, when its spinning.
When I got home, I checked the front of the scoot and found this:

Today, I went to shop, and placed order for those bearings. Those will come in after 1.5 weeks. So I quess. I still need to send them the pic of my brake pads. rotor is simple to buy. I quess I will buy the new axel bolt and nut too. |

You shouldn't be riding that. Those bearings could lock up the front wheel if they collapsed.
I wouldn't be surprised if it all needs replacing now. Wheel, axel, and bearings.

Yeah, I didn't even think about the wheel hub inside being trashed . you absolutely shouldn't drive it. tear it down and inspect it .

Well, I believe im gonna ride to work, with a bus or bicycle, from now on. The reason is, that I have a event coming, an car show and also Im taking a trip to other side of my country, to visit a female friend. Also, I have the other Baotian project, that I need to start on. That may need some parts too. Budget is so tight. |
