I have them, spend your money on something else.  :wink:


Let me clearify this...... they work no doubt but I honeslty felt a much bigger difference with my fully floating Brembo rotors than the bearings, now with both of them combined its like pushing a bicycle around. If I could only get one though it would be the rotors.  :thumb:

I got them primarily to make the bike easier to push around. They accomplished the task, well worth it, imo.

I figure that I push my bike miles in the staging lanes, trailering, etc, each year...
