Phatmoto All-Terrain Rear wheel hub upgrades. Bearings and sprocket bolts

[@kimdouglas8123]

Keep them coming! Had I seen a video like this I on upgrading the jack shaft I would have known a got a lemon! Which has been fixed and is up and running!

[@johnprosise8260]

Good Job -- You Da Man

[@beaubrummelmotorizedbicycles]

Great video Brenton, even if they don't upgrade to sealed bearings the new sprocket/disc bolts is a upgrade most need. I just get sick seeing all those sheared bolts and ruined hubs.

[@brentonjones393]

I totally agree

[@jasoncrosby1851]

Please make a video listing all of the upgrades you made your phatmoto, and where you purchased the parts...Amazing, would love to learn some of your skills

[@brentonjones393]

Check out my FB photo album. Everything is there

[@jr0079]

I would have use ceramic or high quality racing steel bearings and use titanium bolts for the disc.

[@brentonjones393]

Better the quality, the longer it will last. I would have to agree with you.

[@jr0079]

Ceramic bearings are 3 - 5 time stronger then steel. Motorcycle gain 3mph in 1/4 mile.

[@Littleevil9975]

Cool build bro thanks for sharing it

[@burdineestep4224]

why did you not just use the old axel to drive the old cups out? getting the s driver stuck was pure slapstick.

[@brentonjones393]

Yeah most of the guys switching to sealed bearings are going to be using their stock axles as they do not need a dirtbike axle. But that bearing cup was being a booger. Lol They typically come out easier than that. The punch that I normally use works a little better. FyI to all that attempt this cheap swap.

[@alexiezachariades4872]

Excellent video!

[@mjsmjs7905]

I use the black Allen Bolts from the hardware store for my sprocket, I had some issues with the stock bolts, and then I red Loctite them, which may be Overkill I probably could have got away with the blue, I just didn't want to have any more issues I almost trashed my frame when the bolts started backing out.

[@brentonjones393]

Yeah they are a real problem. With the lock nut on the inside of the hub I shouldn't have that issue anymore

[@mozezcen-valley7555]

Thanks for info

[@lllllsp1d3rlllll]

You should go a video of you riding it are your legs crampted up

[@brentonjones393]

I miss spoke in the video. The shim stock I used was .25 mm. This allowed two pieces making a total of .50 mm..

[@alexiezachariades4872]

So when you drill out the bolts, aren't you weakening the brake rotor bolts sections? What about 30mm diameter wheel hub flanged bearings and you just open up the up .5mm all around?

[@brentonjones393]

As soon as I get the chance I'll show you how much metal you have left after drilling it out. This is my second rim doing this to and with the torque of a 125cc dirt bike engine it holds up well. If you have the money I totally recommend the Gemini wheels which are made for this application.. This is just a quick fix on some of the biggest issues the phatmoto community has been having.

[@ronaldearmore4125]

What I'm trying to do is get the bearings changed for the back wheel . I have a phatmoto fat tire ,80 cc would you happen to know what type or the size of the bearings because they want me to buy a hole back rim for the bearings . And that seems crazy I think

[@vintagethrifter2114]

Thanks for the video. I was hoping that you would start posting how to videos on your bike. Are those that stock 12g spokes? I've had more issues with broken spokes than the bearings.

[@brentonjones393]

For now they are stock. I'll be upgrading them soon as I can though.

[@ДимаТерсков-ю1ц]

Hello friend! Please tell me how sprocket of rear wheel attached to the wheel. I mean sprocket for engine

[@alejandroseri]

Do you have a link to those bearings with the lip? Are they 29mm?

[@LordDirus007]

With the bigger Engine. Does the Size of the Stock Fuel Tank cause issues. What's the range on it now? 50 Miles?

[@brentonjones393]

I have not tested the range, but I can ride over two hours. Sorry that's the best info I have at this time.

[@jasonterciak9679]

If you could send me an email for contact. I'd really like your insight on the build I'm starting, yours is almost exactly what I was planning to build

[@KB_Joys]

Wonder if you could have found some copper pipe with the right dimensions?

[@KB_Joys]

Also maybe pack it with grease before you put the bearings in.

[@Grantb-l2n]

Hello Mr. Jones (Indiana Jones). Is the axle on your all terrain the same diameter as the rover? I want to put together 26X3 wheels with 11g spokes with better hubs for higher speed rating, something way more robust. Any suggestions?

[@brentonjones393]

The Rover should have the same hub Diameter but different widths as the AT. But you know what they say measure twice cut once. Check out the Group on FB called Phatmoto (Builds/mods & Info). They have all the info you will need to get the right size parts.

[@niteshades_promise]

any one have troubles getting the tires beed to set just right? been humping this tire for days. unbalanced and cant ride. never had issues before including truck n motorcycle tires. 🍻

[@brentonjones393]

@niteshades_promise Yeah, I had to pump mine up to 50psi with soap before the bead set right .

[@niteshades_promise]

@brentonjones393 ahh thanks. i only went to 40psi. 🍻

[@brentonjones393]

@niteshades_promise be careful brother that's alot of psi

[@niteshades_promise]

@@brentonjones393 thanks. soap n 45psi got it looking good. 🍻

[@JackCrossSama]

What’s the size of the rear disc break? Thanks I have one myself

[@brentonjones393]

@JackCrossSama I believe it's 255.. I ordered a red 230mm and it was smaller then the stock

[@nicos9937]

Why is the sleeve necessary for the hub? Could it work without it?

[@brentonjones393]

You can find 29mm OD flanged bearings but they are not readily available. 28mm Flanged bearings are more common, easier to find, and cheaper

[@nicos9937]

This might sound crazy but what if you also just used a bunch of aluminum foil to wrap around?​@@brentonjones393

[@olx-pj9qm]

What size or diameter is the brake disc?

[@supersteve1224]

Looks like a 240mm if it isn't a homemade rotor

[@ccy8379]

Could have made the video 10 mins long and get way more views. Trial and error fabrication is pretty boring. Good content, just too long, hence boring.

[@brentonjones393]

First real video I've ever done. I'll remember that on the next one. Thanks.

[@ccy8379]

Well awfully good for a first time. Hope you make more. I needed to know how to do what you showed. Thanks. And good luck.
