I think because of the tightness of my rear wheel turning in neutral I will most likely use one. Unless there could be another reason for Midnight Train's rear wheel not turning as freely as Ruby Tuesday did ? I do have a 17" wheel coming to help a little with MPG., when I put that on I'll know better if its in the wheel bearing.
    To be honest, it's always worth having a spare of this component. If you clean the old bearing in situ, with something like white spirit, to get rid of all the old grease, you'll soon know if it's worn or damaged, as it will feel loose or crunchy. In some cases, the needle rollers actually pop out and fall everywhere...generally a sign that the bearing is no good!

        Yep, seven more acquired. I should have them in about a week.... Gotta get them while I can, regardless of whether anyone actually needs any right now. If you do, please PM me to reserve and I'll send them on when they get here, OK?

                                                Just wanted to make sure you PM'd James as he requested.

                                                Smart move to grab one of these bearings while they're available ... they are quickly becoming as rare as hen's teeth, and James is our only known source!
