Hi Everybody,
I recently installed new wheel bearings on my R60/6. After the work was done I realized that one of the rims has a pretty bad flat spot. I have another wheel with no bearings. Question: Can I simply transfer the whole bearing stack from one wheel to the other wheel? They've been in there for 1 season so they are still essentially new. Any advice is much appreciated.

I don't see why not. You might have to readjust the preload to be sure the stack in the new hub is set up right.

Yeah, I agree... I don't see why not! Wheel bearings are wheel bearings... there might be a smidge difference in the stack "width", so the preload/torque ought to be checked, but it should be A-OK.

:D
