[QUOTE="101stpathfinder, post: 1422152, member: 18625"] In my mind I have been going over this ride to figure out how I came to this point. Many possibilities: when I started riding the Deca attempt the weather was just terrible. The construction zones had many violent bumps and my front wheel developed a wobble. My front axel has an ever so slight bend in it now. At the time, I thought I had just thrown some of the balancing weights. Either way; 23k of riding just destroyed the bearings. I am not taking any chances, I am replacing everything. ...And Dave, my last FJR had 262k and never had bearing issues. Perhaps because it was a superior Gen 1 !!! All things said, if I can be back in business tomorrow, I just need to knock out 7k in 5 days. Last thought that went through my head on the Deca right before I discovered my bad rear tire? I am feeling good and the weather has turned- I got this! That same thought came to me when I Crossed over into Nebraska and I was approaching 26k on day 23. [/QUOTE]
