Question regarding front hub/wheel

[nitekrawler]

Alright, new problem. Got son a new (ebay) front wheel and hub. His hub spins good. A good full turn each time I spin it. The new one we just got, only spins 1/4-1/2 turn each time. I assume the faster one is better or? His old hub will not match up to his new wheel :?

TIA

new bearings with fresh grease and good seals will have more resistance than old worn out bearings,,,,

So, its reverse? Wow, thanks for your help. Neither are actually new, so I wasn't sure how to tell

to be safe, you should just replace the bearings.jmo

Does the new one rumble?? Does it feel smooth??

When you say the old one spins one turn, do you mean that the trike wheel is off of the ground and you give it a big spin?? If that is the case It should go around more than one time.

Yes, smooth

I forgot to ask the last time, why are you replacing?? If the bearing is smooth, then there is not a problem.

The new wheel came with the hub, and the old hub will not mount on the new wheel although, they look the same, they are off a pinch, weird. Different years maybe? Both are gold rims.
