So I took them out for a spin today......get it?


Quick thoughts:
-Why are those large tires so close to my head?!
-Redneck Muffler sound....think Big Ford/big tire sound! "BBBBBRRRRR"
-Flotation galore!!! Never sunk into anything!

Pleased with my new to me Ghetto Bigfoots- nice cushy ride thanks to Dino's pressure guide. Worked great till the Bearing came off the hub!!:shocked2:

I bought spacers, washers for the Bearings to keep them from sliding around internally side to side but forgot the hub does not had a "seat" for the Bearing to fit into. Meaning when you push the bearing in it will keep going to it falls into middle of Hub. I did a Equipment check after riding for 15 minutes and found one bearing completely on the outside of the Hub.

The tire/Hub had slid off the bolt, Spacer and Bearing while I was turning. So, I need to put Washers on the outside of each side of the Hub to prevent this.

And yes, I did catch my Elbows on the tires a few times! Yikes!

But I thought they where clear?:eekdrull::wow:
If the bearings are slipping in to the center cut a peace of tubing that fits over the axle just long enouph to fit between the bearings. OH you probably no that!!:moon:

They were clear in my Basement! Buy in the field they can rub if the kite heads to the back of the buggy.

I do have spacers on the axle bolt- its the actual tire/hub that is sliding across the entire axle bolt with spacers. Took me a few seconds of looking at yesterday to figure out what had happened! Had to pound the Bearing back in with using the buggy axle- Can you believe I cound not find a rock on the beach to use as a hammer?! Not one!

If I put Fender washers on the outside and inside of the hub it should solve my issue. Guess that's what you get with dump tires!

If the washers don't work you can get some size bearings with a clip thing built into a groove around the outside of the bearing to keep them from sliding through
