Hellcat help!

Stevi3 · 01-14-2020, 10:52 PM

I cant seem to find the 3rd bearing in the rear end of the bike. Its the larger bearing inside the hub that the sprocket is bolted to. I found the same size as far as width and height but i can't find that same bore in the center. Can anyone point me in the right direction? A friend gave me a Grom one and the center bore was still too big :(

Can you post some pictures?

Try this link and see if you can find the bearing you need : https://partskit.com/product/search/...hicles&vc=0591 or perhaps email them if you dont see it right off ,they are the single biggest source for Hellkat parts i know of.

Also, Google Kronik Racing in Cali as an alternate idea and give them a call, the bearings are the same for the Hellkat and the Boom 125 so they should be able to hook you up .

Not sure if you got this question answered/resolved yet...

If you have photos that would help a bit, but it sounds like you're saying that the rear hub is different on the Taotao hellcat than the grom hubs?

Given the fact that the axle bolt is the same size, have you tried using the Grom hub instead of the Taotao hellcat hub?

Most sealed bearings (even on my China clone) have the bearing size
printed on the dust seal surface. Did you look at it carefully?

Try using the bearing size finder at:

Filter by your known OD and thickness to see what ID's are available.

A little FYI. The so called sealed bearings are not actually sealed and should be greased when you first get the bike. I clean and grease mine about every 2500-3000 miles. Just pop the cover off and clean out with brake cleaner of your solvent of choice then repack them with grease.
