Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does this bearing have a 35mm outer diameter if it is for a 5/8" spindle?
A: This bearing is specifically designed as an adapter. It allows you to fit a standard 5/8" spindle into a metric hub that requires a 35mm outer diameter, saving you from needing custom machining to convert your kart's front end.
Q: Can I use this bearing to fix a worn-out hub?
A: Yes. Because the 35mm outer diameter is slightly larger than some standard metric bearings, many racers use this to restore precision to hubs where the bearing seat has become eroded or loose over time.
Q: Is this bearing compatible with DWT wheels?
A: Absolutely. This is the go-to bearing for DWT 5/8" DSM wheels and is also frequently used for Tru-Speed magnesium wheel integrations.
Q: How do I know if this bearing will fit my specific kart?
A: This bearing is designed for setups using 5/8" spindles and hubs requiring a 35mm outer diameter. If your current hub is designed for a standard 17mm metric bearing, you may need to check our 17mm options instead.
Q: Should I grease these bearings before installation?
A: While these bearings come pre-lubricated for high-speed racing, it is standard practice to inspect them and ensure they are clean and properly seated during installation to minimize play and ensure true wheel alignment.
