Bearing modifications
If i were to take apart a seized up bearing, re-polish everything inside, and put it back together with only half the nummber of balls, do you think the friction reduction would be worth the reduction in bearing life?

efficiency vs maintenance, well in my opinion i would usually take efficiency, but it depends how well you can get your hands on new bearings when they go out of order.

Looking at :
Increase in speed. >VS< Shorter life span. The speed factor is nice, less friction = more power to the ground right? The life span is the problem though.. which in my opinion is a sad part, gain a good amount of "power" but lose so much life... Unless re-lubing will cause this little mod to live longer. I'd say go for it, cause you won't know unless you try it! If something goes wrong, you can learn from your mistakes right? Good-Luck! Blade. |

basically,
1. with a thin pin, poke the ball bearing cage out 2. push all the balls to one side of the bearing so it comes apart (keep track of those balls) 3. clean the outer ring, inner ring, and cage until they're nice and shiny (like chrome-shiny) 4. reassemble bearing using 5 of the 10 original balls, spacing the balls out evenly 5. do a standard bearing cleaning procedure and spin the bearings a bit to get the balls cleaned 6. dry off and oil with your choice of bearing oil and yes, i have like, 30 extra bearing balls now.

well some ones got to lay down the facts... honestly cycy if you could please read the date of the threads youa re posting on and please consider if the person has already done the mod, most likely he has already done it and doesnt need anymore feedback considering this is almost a month old.
