Out the box they have more slop then the ones I posted earlier.

I think if I put a spacer in the center of the hub in between the bearings then tighten it down it would keep the lateral pressure off them making them last a lot longer. |
Those are LOW speed crap!!! no wonder you changed them!!!!I agree about the spacer-the spacer thickness can only be as thick as the inner race though if it a loose sleeve. The convienience/flaw with the upgraded bearings is the snap ring, too much pressure causes them to break, thus don't tighten the wheel down too much, I've already searched my boneyard for a piece of pipe that will slide into the hub that I could make bearing stops out of- but nothing lying around that fits. I feel that's where the wheel wobble is coming from.
