Hi Mike,
On my rental blokarts I use the standard bearings and they last about 2 years. Which is pretty good considering the amount of hours they run every week!
The cap on the front Wheel is great to keep the grit and sand out of the bearings. If we could have the same on the rear wheels that would be super.
When I was racing in the NZL open last year and learned about cleaning out the bearings I was surprised. It is faster but… Cleaned out bearing on the beach only hold out 1 day!!! Sop that makes it a bit expensive to do every race…
Hope to see you soon Mike. I really want to race you again soon.

Onderwerp: [blokart] Blokart Bearings, salt water and sand
My recent trip to the EU Champs was my first multi-day racing experience on a beach. The very fine sand and salt water seemed to get into the bearings within minutes and turn the lube into a brown muddy goo. As a result, I had to clean out and relubricate the bearings at the end of each race day. I almost would have preferred to put a clean set in after each race but that was not realistic. How do you regular "beach bum blokarters" handle this?
Cheers,
MM
