I have the Ice Bear PST150-8 and it came without dust covers for the rear wheels.
Are the bearings sealed? If not, would it make sense to add bearing buddies used on boat trailers.
What is a good source for dust covers?
Thanks....

The bearings should be sealed. I got mine at Nappa, they may have to order them. You can get them from a bearing supply place also.

Thanks Roy,
The trike is new so if the bearings are sealed I guess I just need dust caps. I can see the axle nuts and cotter pins and want to cover them.

Oh, you were talking about the wheel center caps. I thought you was talking about the seals in the axle tube behind the hubs. Talk to Jim at Rapid Repair, he may be able to order them for you.

They are snap on PLASTIC CAPS, some fit good some don't and they may fall off when you hit a good bump. I put my on and one side always fell off so I never put them on. You don't really need them they are just for looks.

Mine fit super tight and are hard to get off. I didn't put them back on last time I had the axles out. Like Alley said they are just cosmetic. If you really want them measure the hole in the center of the wheel and look at harbor freight or an auto store.

Yep, you can get the ones that actually go on the studs and they are aluminum the only problem will be finding them with 4.5" stud spacing because here in the states most are 4" stud spacing.
