Rear wheels and bearings are junk

SlyDogs $55 for 7" any color you want. Replaced mine about a month ago.

Slydog is remaking there mold on there wheels..

At 1000 miles on my front ones, were junk.. they are not strong enough at the wheel openings and become flat..

SLydogs do come with a 1 year warranty and are going to warranty mine out , but not till late next year..

believe it or not i still have the OEM inner wheels Ive greased the bearings several times.. (they have over 7000 miles on them)

im going to change them out this year..

You must not have the original wheels because the bearings were molded into the wheel and you can't access them...
 
with my DOO mounts all i had to do was open up the little slot where rail ledge is abit.....took about 5 seconds with a file or dremel....

no machining otherwise,the wheel sits perfectly in the center of lugs....

I still believe the big issue here is the bending/flexing of the rail due to a 1 bolt mount of idlers....so simply adding spoked wheels may not be the answer for INNERS(if studded)......I wore my spoked inners out in 50 miles(second set) and I believe it was due to flexing single bolt brackets.

Im sure you can get a older rx1 or srx bracket,which i think were 2 bolt(similar to the DOO ones).....the single bolt bracket/mounts are just another weight savings thing yammie did with apex mono that IMO was a total disaster.

I'll be adding the 2lbs of quality to my skid shortly lol. I have run 8000kms on my stock wheels (solid plastic) but now the bearings are coming out...too bad I can't replace the bearings because the wheels are still perfect. I've noticed several mono skids with the first set of small idlers on a slightly different angle then the second wheel....this means the rail tab/wheel mount is bent....the two bolt mounts will fix this situation!!
