Next cruiser rear wheel bearing?

[dragnusa]

Ive got a Next cruiser that I havent decided if I want to use for parts or resale. but either way the only problem with the bike is one side of the rear bearings got destroyed and Im needing to find out what size the bearings are. Is there anyone that can help me? I dont see on either bearing ring any numbers

Coaster Brake? If it is, a kids coaster brake bike might just work.

Well have to see what 20 in coaster brake rims I have and take one apart and see if they would work. I know next rims arent the best but all I seem to be getting lately in 26 in rims is multi gear rims which dont do me any good for my cruiser projects

I have the same problem.

Take a kids 36 hole coaster hub and relace to a 26er and you save $50 if you buy a new one. The hard part is finding used 252mm spokes to make it work.

the hub on the cruiser is rather small so a 20 inch hub may swap in with no problem with the spokes Id have to measure everything and see

After all our Easter stuff was over I went out to break down some parts bikes a person had dropped off and who would have thought Id find the bearings I needed for the next cruiser rim on a 16 inch huffy bike. All the internals swapped right over

Perfect, there are some standardization here and there.
