As I mentioned in a previous thread, the bearing engineer I work with said this bearing will wear quicker than the big bearing stuff we're used to racing. So if you check the wheel/hub play & it starts to show excessive, simply replace it. If that happens often, then maybe you need a stronger spindle/bearing/hub assembly. If not, you're probably fine.

Makes perfect sense Ron. Thank you Sir
