Urgent: Front wheel bearing size problems!
-
Wondered if anyone can kindly help..
Having a nightmare with wheel bearings in my 2005 dt125 supermoto.
Took the old wheel bearings out and threw them away and now the caliper side bearing I’m having a howler trying to get one to fit..
The hub seems to be 40mm ID and my spindle appears to be 15mm
Yet everywhere I’ve read online says my bearing should have a 17mm internal diameter, the speedo drive side I’ve got a 15mm is bearing, my sleeve is a 15mm ID and I can’t seem to find any bearing which is 40mm x 15mm to fit on the caliper side.
If I remember correctly (take this with a pinch of salt) that bearing I took out seemed wider than a normal bearing too.
Any help would be massively appreciated as I’m desperate to get it on the road and this is the only thing holding me back
Cheers guys!

And they're definitely off a DTX and not the Saxxes from the WRX? https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/parts/view/93306-20348
Dimensions: 17mm (Internal Diameter) x 40mm (Outside Diameter) x 12mm (Width).

yeah I believe they are definitely off a DTX. Interstingly enough I have just been reading that the supermoto have a 17mm front axle... and mine is definitely 15mm..
My brain is starting to scramble over this! Im wondering how on earth it worked before (really kicking myself for not photographing the bearings before taking them out)
