Front and rear wheel bearings? Changed all mine out for industrial machine bearings with steel seals instead of rubber/plastic ones( seems to be smoother)
>> I cannot detect anything but then I wouldnt know what poor/worn bearings look or sound like. Bike just passed an MoT this week so??..
Out of interest why would you contemplate changing specifically designed motorbike wheel bearings for industrial machine bearings with steel seals, if you wouldn't even know what a worn bearing would look like?
Do you even know if the bearing you have installed can take the pounding put upon wheel bearings
Think you have picked that up wrong Midden, reddave has changed out his bearings for industrial machine bearings, but its keratos who wouldnt know what a worn bearing looks/sounds like

Ahhh my apologies Keratos, Cheers Reddave for the bearing explanation and cheers Mick for just being there
