SKF wheel spacer/seal system

Has anyone used these? Unique in that the moving interface is contained entirely in the seal. I have one wheel in need of spacers so was looking for some feedback before I proceed. They are available for Beta and pretty cheap for an entire set.

I have them on my 2014 2T from the early days. Bike has around 100+hrs so I reckon they should be on for 80 hrs.
No worries at all. I don' t pay any particular attention but they seem to be really low friction and to keep the inside more clean (judging from when I am pulling axles out).

Just remember that when installing the seals to check which side is the inner.
I was confused by their appearance and did the first one wrong but thankfully wasn't pressed in yet.

Thanks, good to hear. I'll try a set. I take pretty good care of my wheels, always R&R and clean seals often. Beta spacers are decent for alloy and last a season but once the anodizing starts to go they melt like butter like most others. My other wheels have stainless spacers but these SKFs looked interesting.

I ran these on my old Kato350
They have been on it for about 130hrs and still going, and I abuse my bike with the pressure washer.
They are a great product and will be using them again on my current Beta !!

Another great product from SKF is there Mud Scrappers for the forks ...
Once again seals have done 130hrs and still going strong, never had to give them a clean or anything.
Another product I will get for the Beta but for now .. the bike is just sitting there as the heat has arrived and I dont ride the bike to often in the summer months :)

NOTE: W-KIT-F021-BE - Beta Wheel Seal Kit 2013+ Front "WILL NOT" fit Beta Xtrainer front wheels (different spacers)

But W-KIT-R020-BE - Beta Wheel Seal Kit 2013+ Rear should fit Beta Xtrainer rear wheels (will confirm once installed)
