Hi! The cup in my rear mtb-wheel bearing has become seriously pitted - found a little piece of rock
inside last time I regreased it... It is a no-name traditional cone/cup bearing from a cheap wheel.
Everybody tells me that the it's doomed, but evenso I would like to try to repair it. I remember
reading somewhere about putting "angular contact bearings" ("rollerskate-type" bearings) inside the
dammaged cup as a fix. But I simply can't remember where - I have trawled Google-groups back and
forth with no luck.
The idea imho. makes good sense as there is plenty of space inside the bearing once the dustcap is
removed. Has any of you tried this procedure or know where I can find some info on it?
Next step for me will probably be to meassure the inside diameter of the cup and the diameter of the
axle and see if I can find some bearings that fits. Im not quite sure wich type to look for or where
to buy them but http://www.skf.com looks like a good place to start.

Any comnets are much apreciated
