Bike Axle Replacement
I have a Sears made by Puch 3 speed bike. The bearings dust cover is missing from one side of the axle?
The bearings dust cover is missing from one side of the axle. Should I be able to find this cover at a bike shop, or must I buy a new axle? If I have to buy a new axle how do I measure the current axle in order to find a replacement that will fit this 26 inch x 1 3/8 inch wheel?
Thanks in advance for your help
This is the front axle.
I assume you want the little metal cover that covers the bearings, right?
That is going to be tough to find for such an old bike. A new axle won’t do it BUT you might be able to find a bearing cone that has an attached cover. It won’t be perfect but will afford some protection.
To corect an earlier answer, Austro Daimler was made by Puch… not the other way round.
