Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if this 17mm bearing is the right size for my kart?
A: This bearing features a 17mm inner diameter and a 35mm outer diameter. It is designed specifically for European-standard metric hubs. Please measure your spindle or axle diameter to ensure it matches the 17mm specification before installation.
Q: Is this bearing compatible with my Margay Ignite kart?
A: Yes, this bearing is fully compatible with Margay Ignite chassis setups, as well as most standard European kart hubs and all DWT DSM wheels.
Q: Should I use grease when installing these bearings?
A: While these bearings come ready for use, applying a light, high-quality synthetic karting grease can help displace moisture and improve longevity, especially if you race in damp conditions or on dirt tracks.
Q: How often should I replace my wheel bearings?
A: You should inspect your bearings before every race weekend. If you notice any "grittiness," lateral play (wobble), or if the wheel does not spin freely, it is time to replace them to maintain peak performance and safety.
Q: Can I use this bearing on a 5/8" spindle?
A: No, this bearing is designed for a 17mm spindle. If you are running a 5/8" spindle, you will need a different bearing size to ensure a proper, safe fit.
