Are you sure those super generic bearings are any good??

[@longtinmotorsports]

All you'll hear are horror stories on the internet. I'm not trying to tell you a good bearing isn't better. But we've had pretty good luck with a $2 bearing. We were also swapping tracks in and out almost every weekend so it was easy to check a bearing and replace it while we were at it. If it's your trail sled and you don't want to touch it every few hundred miles, go out and buy the $30 bearings.

Gotta keep the classics alive.

Shoukd have added grease to them

[@longtinmotorsports]

The nice thing is, since they are sealed bearings, you don't have to!

My gawd, shipping is more than the cost of 10 bearings
