Bearing Holders
Hey Everyone, I am building another unicycle and I am looking for aluminum bearing holders or ideas that you may have on how to hold the bearings.
Any Suggestions? Thanks. |

You could get aluminum split shaft collars, and have them machined with a 42mm diameter channel to fit the bearings.

You could buy 2 pairs of kh or similar bearing holders and use one pair on the frame.

Do you have a TIG welder to make the rest of the frame and weld on the bearing caps.You could make the bearing caps fairly easily on a metal lathe.I have made several unicycles but I can only work with steel because I only have a stick welder.

The frame I am working with is aluminum and I have a MIG welder and Argon tank to weld aluminum, tho I need a bit of practice welding aluminum. (melts way to easily) Wish I had a lathe, then I could make my own. I like the split collar idea. Going to check into them today.
