Wanted 10mm Bearing Spacers

Post by Robert Sydia » Thu May 06, 2004 6:17 pm

Does anyone have a stash of good 10mm bearing spacers that I can buy.

I could really need 12-16 of them (3-4 sets of wheels).

If you have them readily available - they would be greatly appreciated.

All the best,

Rob

ABEC11 bearing spacers

Post by Steve Collins » Thu May 06, 2004 6:33 pm

Abec11 sells 0.4" bearing spacers, which, I have been told, is the actually intended size of a "10mm" spacer.

I got a bunch of em and they sure look exactly the same size as my other "10mm" spacers.

Although they are aluminum, they do have a slightly thicker wall than the typical aluminum spacer.

you can also buy them from online shops such as Mile High Skates. Here's a direct link to the page with them:

Robert,
I think Steve is correct. That it is actually .400" that you need.

I asked Howard Gordon this once because I had been told that .400" was what was correct when the 3dm site said 10mm. This is what Howard said back to me:
Howard Gordon wrote:Our website is wrong (thanks for noting this) - the correct spacing is 0.400", not 10mm (which is 0.394"). If you contact any of the manufacturers of spacers and order 10mm, you'll receive 0.400". We get spacers from Sure-grip, I haven't noted variation of more than 0.002", though that's from a limited set of measurements.

Note that the wheel hubs are not precision machined (they're poured urethane) which likely have variations of a few thousandths, so there is no point in getting too carried away on precision, though variations in excess of 0.004-0.005" may be noticeable.
I use the Abec 11 ones too and think they are good.

Rob ,forget the spacers and just buy Abecs Biltin 7's. Great bearings, no spacers needed or washers for that matter. TK
