No RIV are just standard rear hub bearings , just bought one myself .
The UK's No1 Lambretta & Vespa Scooter Forum.

yes they come ready assembled, its an outer metal housing same size as a standard bearing, it has a sealed bearing fitted into it which is secured with a circlip, it comes with 2 small washers that go on each side of the bearing, great bit of kit, rayspeed have just made one as well, but not seen that.rosscla wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 11:51 pmIs that the one with the separate shell?holty wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 6:32 pm i would suspect if you have tried 3 seals, then its the bearing thats at fault, i would try a better bearing, or one from a dealer who knows they fit correctly, i think lambretta upgrades do a riv bearing at a very reasonable price, i had trouble with the last one i did, it was too slack and pissed oil out so on my recent built i opted for the jockeys sealed bearing so no seals to worry about, they do seem to fit very well, just fitted one to my mates new build, would always fit one now.
There seems to be a spacer in the kit - where does that go?
Bearing was replaced with RIV and a Rolf seal fitted as it shouldholty wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 6:32 pm i would suspect if you have tried 3 seals, then its the bearing thats at fault, i would try a better bearing, or one from a dealer who knows they fit correctly, i think lambretta upgrades do a riv bearing at a very reasonable price, i had trouble with the last one i did, it was too slack and pissed oil out so on my recent built i opted for the jockeys sealed bearing so no seals to worry about, they do seem to fit very well, just fitted one to my mates new build, would always fit one now.
result mate, it is a little frustrating when you have to do it twice, but ten out of ten for getting the job done correctly,gaz_powell wrote: ↑Thu Mar 01, 2018 7:20 pmBearing was replaced with RIV and a Rolf seal fitted as it shouldholty wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 6:32 pm i would suspect if you have tried 3 seals, then its the bearing thats at fault, i would try a better bearing, or one from a dealer who knows they fit correctly, i think lambretta upgrades do a riv bearing at a very reasonable price, i had trouble with the last one i did, it was too slack and pissed oil out so on my recent built i opted for the jockeys sealed bearing so no seals to worry about, they do seem to fit very well, just fitted one to my mates new build, would always fit one now.
