Default which wheel bearings are you using?
I picked up a switchback wheel for the swap I'm going to do on my slim an I checked the bearings an one has a grind feel/sound. I'm going to swap them out before replacing them....are the HD bearings the best or are their others to consider? the all-***** get good reviews...but their made in China.
