Sorry to dig out an ancient thread. Would the Napa rear bearing 6205-vsp25 fit my 04 Ridgeback? Pretty sure mine are bad gonna change them with my back tire.

I’m having a really hard time locating the bearing. Everyone is out of stock with the Timken. Anyone wanna point me in a direction. Same quality or actual Timken bearing. All the other parts numbers I found other than 205kdd2 have been for a 25mm bore and not 1 inch. I have looked all day.

Yes I got them swapped and still haven’t got it all back together yet. I’ll dig back into it again on Friday which is my first day off work. The little notch on the spacers have me a little confused in their orientation. I’ll get you pics as soon as I get a chance. Thanks for the help man you’ve been awesome.

Did you pop the seals and put more grease in the new bearings?

That's not a good idea . Just ask a bearing manufactuer. I always thought you couldn't over grease a bearing until someone mentioned that sealed bearings aren't to be tampered with. The other thing is mixing the different brands of grease.

"
Too much grease volume (overgreasing) in a bearing cavity will cause the rotating bearing elements to begin churning the grease, pushing it out of the way, resulting in energy loss and rising temperatures. This leads to rapid oxidation (chemical degradation) of the grease as well as an accelerated rate of oil bleed, which is a separation of the oil from the thickener. The heat that has been generated over time along with the oil bleed eventually will cook the grease thickener into a hard, crusty build-up that can impair proper lubrication and even block new grease from reaching the core of the bearing. This can result in accelerated wear of the rolling elements and then component failure.

Seal damage is another negative side effect of overgreasing. Grease guns can produce up to 15,000 psi, and when you overgrease a bearing housing, the lip seals can rupture, allowing contaminants such as water and dirt to gain access into the bearing housing. Keep in mind that lip seals usually fail around 500 psi. This excessive pressure can also damage single and double-shielded bearings, causing the shields facing the grease supply to collapse into the bearing race and leading to wear and eventually failure. When too much pressure is generated from a grease gun due to overgreasing, it is easy for the hard, crusty grease formed from heat (high operating temperatures) to be broken apart and sent directly into the bearing track".

No I didn’t. The bearings I took out were Chinese bearings. What do these bikes come with stock ? The seal was leaking in one of the ones I replaced.

Definitely water getting in there. When I knocked the leaky bearing out the smell of stagnated water would gag a maggot. Lol
