Looks like my email had been dropped from the list server and I wasn't
getting any messages for a few days. I "joined" again, and am resending
this previous post, as I don't believe it got through.
It's a question for Wayne O., if you could just read below.

Wayne, would you attribute the bearings lasting 3 years more to the use
of the chrome
plated upgrade or to the drilled axles? Has there been any experience
with drilled axles
using regular steel bearings?

*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------*Bob (and All),
Lots of places (including my local guy) stock the 08125 bearings in plain
steel, but since Howard's Chrome plated ones have lasted 3 years without any
problem (since I drilled his axles to fill the wheels with grease), I don't
want to try plain steel ones like the disintigrated ones I removed from
FOKM. I would rather spend the extra $340 on bearings ($100.00/bearing vs
about $15.00 for steel) than the labour TWICE per summer to change them if
using plain steel! Stainless may even be better if available, I should look
into that and see if they are available (and at what cost)!
