Wheel Bearings - Open or Sealed

Postby gregwils » Sat Dec 31, 2011 2:38 am

I pulled the open bearing out of the front hub on my 160, but was thinking a sealed bearing might be a better choice - No dirt, maintenance free (until install). Does anyone have an opinon? They are 6202's. Thanks.

Oh my gosh, you're right. They're about $1.50 each shipped!
