wow! :shock: I've never seen bearing go that way!! now I see that still I stand by my initial ramblings...


dugcati wrote:make sure your using the right grease in the bearing and also check your tracking isn't miles out - and lastly if your running wide wheels this can also have an effect on bearing life... 500 miles is a very short time for wheel bearing to start acting up, when you pulled them apart second time round what wear/damage was on them? this could help pinpoint why they are dying

I would send that bearing to the manufacturer and see what they think as to what has happened. That isn't looking like normal wear and tear.
