Regarding building a non-differential rear axle for this thing:
- 73.4-73.5 whatever standard is OD
- 29.4-29.5 axle spline ID
If I can find a sealed or unsealed bearing like this that isn't
taper roller and doesn't require spacing to be proper for the
inner, I can just run two bearings and no spool at all. Idea
courtesy of em_knaps :-)
Not sure why I didn't think of that, but I didn't. :-p
Having had a look now, the exact size is only available in
taper roller bearings, not self-aligning ball bearings. The
standard ID is 30mm which would likely be OK with 0.5mm
clearance to the spline, but the nearest OD is 70mm. So
some sort of sleeves would be required to get to a suitable
bearing situation in terms of securing them in the housing
and running cleanly on the splined shaft ends.
