This is for anyone that has built their own trike with a kit or have worked on theirs since they took possession of their trike. For instance,... for those that have taken a look at their wheel bearings. More and more Im seeing Chinese junk incorporated in just about anything we buy these days. For the kit owners out there. When you check your wheel bearings. Look to see if they are in fact Timken bearings, made in the USA or Chinese. The Chinese bearings for one. Is total junk. Ive 7000 miles on my trike and bearings are causing abnormal wear to the races. Im replacing them all. Besides the unwanted wear. Some of the races even have cracks in them. I had properly greased and packed my bearings. So there's no need to explain to me how to do this. What Im wondering if others are also noticing the poor quality of kits. Yes some kits look very nice on the outside. But untill you go into one. You don't actually know what your paying for as a whole. Though they say their built in the USA. They are actually outsourced to China, resulting in junk for the US consumer.
