New Wheel Question
I just purchased a wheel off ebay. It does not come with bearings. My question is can the ABS bearings be removed from my current wheel and be pressed in to the new wheel and if so would I be better off just buying new ABS bearings? Any other suggestions for switching the wheels? It is the same size wheel so I will be using my current tire.

I'd buy new bearings. The ABS bearing is expensive ($50) but it makes sense to put new bearings in a new wheel.
There have been more than enough bearing failures on the bikes with 25mm bearings to justify the cost of new ones.
