Performer Recumbent Trike Hubcap

thingiverse

Performer Recumbent Trikes use a uncommon rubber dust cap for their front wheel hubs. These trikes often loose their rubber cap the first time you wipe out the vehicle. This little replacement cap doesn't keep the water and dust out, but it does protect door frames. Fair weather riders should know that their front wheel bearing do have rubber seals already provided. I printed this with ABS for longer life but any material should work. For those interested, the Performer Recumbent trikes from China were also branded as Actionbent out of Washington state and several others on eBay. The bearing used in these hubs is R8 making it an imperial bearing with a 1-1/8" OD. This cap is a snug fit with an actual dimension of 1.18" at the bottom of the flange with slightly tapered walls. The groove makes up the difference when installed. Feel free to scale the cap based on the above technical information for your application. Sidewalks are built into the file and peel away easily. No supports should be required.
