Front Axle Bearing Concepts

This is not a step-by-step install instruction. It is rather an explanation of the principles involved in placement of the bearings & spacers plus the overall concept of alignment.

Here is a general diagram of the front wheel in the forks with various parts identified. The illustration uses sealed-bearings.

When installing bearings, install the brake-side first so that the bearing is fully seated in the hub. This helps to keep the brake rotor alignment while using the previous external bearing spacer. Then place the internal hub spacer into the wheel and install the other bearing. Be sure that the internal hub bearing spacer is a few thousandth longer than the spacing of the hub bearing seats - this guarantees that the internal spacer will be in full contact with the inner race of the 2nd bearing. The outer race of the 2nd bearing should NOT fully seat against the hub cavity - You must stop the bearing insertion when the inner race of the 2nd bearing comes in contact with the inner spacer.

Notice in the diagram that there is a small GAP between the outer race of the 2nd bearing (right-side of forks) and the seat of the hub cavity. This is important to maintain as described above.

When re-installing the wheel to the forks, the axle will slip completely thru the right-side fork. It will clamp the external spacer, the right-side bearing inner race, the inner spacer, the left-side bearing inner race and the second external spacer to the left-side fork. At this point, when you tighten the nut on the axle, the wheel assembly is only clamped to the left-side fork. The right-side fork is then clamped to the wheel assembly by the Pinch Bolt which now allows both forks to support the front wheel assembly.

If you are changing from a stock wheel, be sure your external and internal spacers are properly sized. The inner spacer must be a few thousandth longer than the measured distance between the two bearing cavities of the hub. The external spacers need to be the correct length to properly align the brake rotor with the brake caliper and also to center the wheel between the forks.

Custom rear bearings can be found to match a wheel to an axle size but the original bearings varied in width (Timken, Double-Row Bearing, Single-Row Bearing) - This also means that spacer lengths varied.
(Note: Difference between two 15mm bearings & two 21mm bearings is 12mm = .472“)

Don't forget the Swingarm slots & Axle Adjusters need to match the axle diameter. Axle Adjusters changed from '04-earlier (centered) to '05-later (flush to inside)

NOTE: If placing a 21mm width bearing in a wheel designed for bearings of 15mm width, you will have 6mm of the bearing outside the hub face (meaning the centerline of the bearing is 3mm more outward). There is no collected data on whether this configuration represents a problem, but it would seem that, when properly spacered and clamped on the axle, this variation should be functional. Safety is the responsibility of each rider.

ReddTigger commented:
Some early model wheels (made between 2000-2004?) may have a center hub hole that is only
clearanced for 3/4" axle spacers. This is not the surface where the bearings mount, but
rather the hole between left & right sides of the hub where the center_spacer goes through.

To use these wheels with a later axle size (ie., 1" or 25mm) you will need to bore that
center hub hole to be slightly larger than the OD of spacer being used. DO NOT BUGGER UP
THE BEARING SURFACES! The exact size of this enlargement is not critical but it must be
done well. The center_spacer must move freeling in that opening. If you have any question
of your ability to do this, find a machine shop who will enlarge that hole correctly.
Take your center_spacer along to be sure the final hole is larger than the spacer OD.
With skill, you should be able to use the proper size bit or a unibit to do this yourself.
