Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech 2004 America Spindle/axle

I'm sad I've just received my new wheel from CWC and I ordered a new hub as well stating it was a 2004 america... the wheel is great but the spindle size is different.
My old hub is 25mm hole.. the new one is like 18mm... can anyone tell me if this a new america size or if they have just screwed up or if my original hub was oversized?

thanks very much.

got stupid feeling that they might sent you wheel on bonnie hub and that is different!!!!!! are the bearings inside?if so changing bearings for 6005 ones will be ok but there is a spacer inside too which will be wrong diameter.....can you post some close picture of the new hub then i will know that is bonnie or america

is it easy enough to take the bits from my old hub and swap them in? i really don't want to have to send the wheel back

need side picture of brake side but from spokes side

if hub is right then you can swap bearings over with your old ones

ok can you measure width of old and new hub? if they same you ok bonnie is slightly narrower and little bit flat on inside on brake side

by hub you mean the hole hub yeah?

their both 3 inches (outside of black rubber to rubber)

on the picture is hub from america


measure this way

if they the same you good to go just swap bearings and spacer and go for a ride on those bumpy Isle of Man roads

Ahaaa, yes.. its a bonnie hub then. It would appear that their both 4 and half inches from black rubber to black rubber going through wheel.

Sooo.... next question is.. if they can be swapped... how the heck does that black rubber bit come off??

p.s. thanks very much for the help chap.

gently with screwdriver

cheers boss!

so like work a flat head under the rubber seal from inside? thats a stubborn bugger.
