DB30 rear wheel bearing swap??

[MKW]

I'm attempting to use a DB30 rear wheel on another project. My question is...does anyone know if I can get any bearings for that wheel that have a 5/8" ID??
Thanks for any help.

I never tore the bearing out of either of my DB30's but if the OD of the bearing happens to be 35mm, OldMiniBikes and others sell a bearing with a 35mm OD and a 5/8 ID. I quick look at OldMiniBikes warehouse would probably give you the answer.

Looks like that ideas a no-go. 32mm OD for DB30 rim.

Yeah, I actually did look into it, but was wondering if anyone had info that I was missing. Thanks.

I actually found some sealed bearings online that are 5/8 ID and 1&1/4 OD which I think I could make work, but they are described as "semi precision", which scares me a little.

1-1/4" would be almost .010" loose in the wheel.
