Mostly posting this to see if anyone is awake...
I have the original wheel from my '08 XT that has a 'deformed' right wheel bearing 'socket'. After a catastrophic bearing failure, I had it overbored, and a sleeve made. The sleeve, however, has an inside flange, and that throws the bearing spacing off. It ruined the new bearing I put in in about 100 miles. I gave up and bought a new 3-bearing wheel kit.
Anyhow, is there any value in the wheel, other than perhaps a planter, or is it destined to join the beer cans on my next trip to the metal recycler?
