Guaranteed Performance while riding – We design our products to get you across the finish line, not just once, but many times. Let’s face it: most of us do not travel with a personal mechanic. What is the point of fragile race-day-only parts if you ride your bike for training, racing and in all kinds of weather? Kogel products are designed to perform every single day.

Ceramic wheel bearings are not just about enhanced performance; they are also about extending the life of your bike. Ceramic materials are resistant to corrosion and wear, which means less maintenance and more time on the road. Whether you're an avid racer or a weekend warrior, upgrading to Kogel's Ceramic Bicycle Wheel Bearings will provide you with an immediate improvement in efficiency and comfort. Experience the difference with every pedal stroke and elevate your cycling experience to levels previously unattainable with standard bearings.

The wood is needed because the cylinder spigot protrudes through cylinder and makes it unstable on a 'small base', much easier to use the flat gasket face plus you can measure close to bottom of cylinder without gauge contacting bench (and messing up readings)

Borediameter measuring instruments

The flare from flash pretty much obscures the secondary dial (slightly above and to right of '4') It is important as it tells how many full revolutions the primary dial (with long pointer) has made. Picture of gauge set at 'zero' wasn't too difficult to take as I didn't have to worry about sliding out of micrometer anvils (I know, it's 'off by 1/10,000", actual setting is correct.

We guarantee the performance of our company and products from your initial research throughout the lifecycle of your Kogel product.

To accurately make measurements you will need some specialty measuring equipment, in this case, 'cheap' micrometer and bore gauge (I've had and used expensive ones, these do the same job)

We know gauge is set to piston size and will be taking measurements at top of cylinder 'side to side' and 'front to back' getting a reading of the actual piston clearance. Max allowable is around 0.006", after that things start breaking up very quickly

Upgrading can significantly reduce friction and wear, improving efficiency and performance, especially if your current bearings are worn or contaminated.

To make things a bit easier, we have simplified the pricing: If you need 4 bearings, choose WB-4 we will send you all the bearings for your hubs, but do not include the freehub. If you want to include the freehub bearings, just choose the WB6 option.

Guaranteed Performance while installing – We've built a library of installation manuals, bearing drifts for safe installation and offer expert advice whenever needed.

From my activities in many on-line motorcycle groups I've seen a number of people posting things are 'worn out' or wrong parts fitted because they can rock or move top of piston in cylinder bore after cylinder head has been removed

Borediameter bearing meaning

Just so you know where you are, it's common practice to measure as X and Y, the X is side to side, the Y is front to back. Your also measuring from the top to the bottom, ABC, Top Mid Bot, etc (whatever floats your boat)

Guaranteed Performance Warranty – Our Guaranteed Performance Warranty is the best-in-industry. Use the heck out of your Kogel products, if they fail in the first year we will send you a new set. A bearing service will extend this warranty for the second year.

Purpose of this Instructable is to hopefully teach how to measure a cylinder and piston, the correct place to measure a piston and why you find the largest possible diameter.

As previously stated, 'we' are looking for the largest diameter of the piston so in this case it is inverted and measuring point (usually 5~10mm from base) this particular bike uses 26mm from base of piston. Very surprisingly (in view of age and mileage of bike) the actual size of piston is in specification, 2.359 and a few ten-thousandths of an inch ( I no longer have micrometer reading to 1/10,000" but it isn't really needed - most of the time)

If anyone wants to do the math, just add the clearances to the piston size of 2.359"(+3 or 4 or 5 ten thousandths of inch, take your pick from micrometer picture - LOL) to get actual bore size

Suzuki also made a T250 which looked pretty much identical and a year later a T350 so make sure you have correct specifications

The top cover of bore gauge box has soft foam lining, from experience I've found the easiest most convenient way to set gauge or 'hold' micrometer is just sit it on the foam.

The easiest check is to pull the wheel from the bike, remove the dust covers if they are easy to remove and spin the axle with your fingers. You’re looking for a rough/gritty feel or listen for dry bearings (you will hear a swishy sound to stay fully scientific. If the bearings are dry or contaminated, you will need to service them. Here is a manual.

Most people come to the "about us" page to learn more about a company and people involved. The story of our humble beginnings can be found here.

The majority of video's or tutorials will tell you to use a micrometer stand but I've found it really difficult to keep gauge contact points between micrometer anvils, the contacts are rounded and about 3/32", the micrometer anvils, 1/4" diameter. The hardened/carbide faces don't want to stay in place (it is possible but why make life deliberately difficult?)

Kogel's ceramic wheel bearings are engineered to drastically reduce rolling resistance compared to traditional steel bearings. The high-quality ceramic balls in these bearings allow for smoother and faster wheel rotations, enabling cyclists to achieve higher speeds with less effort.

Pistons are machined so the largest mass of metal has room to expand and thinner sections (which don't expand as much) are different diameters. The sides of pistons where gudgeon (piston) pin fit, having more material then the thinner sections of skirt are also smaller than the 'nominal' diameter. It may be easier to picture a piston as being barrel shaped top to bottom and kind of 'pear' shaped looking down from top. The reasons are also linked to the way piston is 'pressed' into front or back of cylinder due to the connecting rod angle and direction of rotation of crankshaft

What is bore sizein bearing

From the numbers, it's easy to see that the top of cylinder is close to danger zone, the middle is well into catastrophic failure region and the bottom has 'strange' numbers which are actually easily explained.

To set up bore gauge, you need to know size of bore or size of piston. (2.360") In this case I had piston which was still in specification so didn't re-set micrometer plus it will give a direct reading of the actual clearance between cylinder and piston. (actual piston size closer to 2.3595")

Wheel bearings are a complicated matter. There are too many combinations between all brands to list them all on our web site.

With the numbers in and from many years experience, the motor would have had a catastrophic failure first time it was run hard, piston rattling around would have broken off the bottom part and possible damaged other components

Going back to piston measurement, the sides of piston are removed for gas to flow through transfer ports (remember, it's a two stroke -picture of side of piston) There isn't anything to wear the cylinder so it's most likely the 0.0024" was the standard clearance when bike was made..................... but.............. the pistons show no wear so they have probably been swapped for new ones and bores may possibly have been honed for new rings will 'bed in' meaning original clearance was less than 0.0024" ???

Kogel's end-to-end Guaranteed Performance experience is guaranteed to serve your cycling activities today and for years to come. From the minute you start exploring our products and throughout the service life of your parts.

Cylinderbore sizechart

You will need a pad and something to write with as your going to make multiple measurements at various points of cylinder. A couple of blocks of wood to hold cylinder off bench are also handy (in my opinion) Personally I prefer to measure cylinders from the top down but some people will invert them and measure from the bottom up (as cylinder is inverted your still going from top to bottom)

Constructed from advanced ceramic materials, these bearings are not only lighter but also significantly harder and more durable than conventional bearings. They resist corrosion and wear, making them ideal for all-weather conditions and ensuring long-lasting performance.

Transform your ride with Kogel's Ceramic Bicycle Wheel Bearings, designed specifically for cyclists who refuse to compromise on performance. Our ceramic bearings set a new standard in the cycling world, offering an unmatched combination of low friction and high durability. With these bearings, cyclists can enjoy a smoother ride, increased speed, and improved bike handling. This top-tier performance is due to the unique properties of ceramic that reduce rolling resistance and wear, allowing for a seamless ride even under the most challenging conditions.

Before making any decisions on parts, you will need the stock specifications, it's hard to judge clearances between parts when you don't know what exactly they should be so get service manual or technical data manual

The bore gauge doesn't take direct measurements, that is to say, it doesn't tell you the actual bore size, you need a little bit of math later on.

During operation (ie, when engine is running) the top of piston is exposed to full heat of combustion which is normally around 7~800f or higher. Aluminium has a very high expansion when heated so at running temperature the piston top expands to 'fill' the cylinder bore (top of piston is probably averaging over 300f ?) This is a two stroke (two cycle) motor, conduction removes heat from top to underside of piston and fresh charge helps cool it and prevent a 'melt down' (mostly)

A high-quality ceramic bearing is the more developed brother of a stock bearing: races are hardened and polished to a mirror finish, balls are more perfectly round than any steel ball can ever be and we spent a lot of time perfecting our grease and seals to perform best in any given conditions.

In the words of US National Downhill Champion Neko Mulally: “you don’t really feel the difference between a good and a bad bearing, it is reflected in your race time at the end of the day. As a rider I do nothing differently and go faster"

Guaranteed performance means working hard to make your experience with Kogel Bearings the best possible, every step of the way.

Kogel bearings utilize silicon nitride balls for reduced friction, minimal deformation under load, and rust resistance, enhancing performance and durability.

What is Bore sizein pipe

The bore gauge has a range of only 0.050" measuring in ten-thousandths of inch. The contact end of gauge is about 2" long so a contact tip is needed to reach 2.360", the tip is for 2.400" bore so gauge will be compressed at least 0.040" (nicely within range)

Due to their robust construction and the inherent properties of ceramic, these bearings require less maintenance. They do not need frequent lubrication and are less prone to accumulating dirt and debris, which means more time riding and less time on upkeep.
